Flu prevention starts with wearing a mask correctly

Why are masks advocated to prevent respiratory infections?

In winter, when there is a high incidence of infectious diseases, wearing a mask is not only an effective measure to protect oneself from being infected by others, but also an effective measure to protect people around when one has respiratory symptoms, just like setting a "filter barrier" for one's respiratory system.

Under what circumstances should a mask be worn?

1. When you go to the hospital.

2. When taking public transportation.

3. During the period of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases, it is necessary to stay in a relatively closed or crowded space for a long time.

4, if in an office or a school class, a colleague or classmate has a cold.

5. When patients are in close contact with people.

For the protection of winter infectious diseases, disposable medical masks are the best choice. It is recommended to buy products from regular enterprises.

How to wear a mask correctly?

Masks are less effective if worn incorrectly. When wearing a mask, the most important thing is to ensure its tightness. In this case, it is necessary to choose the model suitable for you. For example, for children, it is better to use a child-type mask that matches different age groups and face sizes.

When wearing a disposable medical mask, fold the face completely, cover the mouth, nose and lower jaw completely, and then press the nose clip to make the mask completely fit the face. It should also be noted that the disposable mask is separated from the inside and the outside, and the light face should be close to the mouth and nose, while the dark face should face outward.

Precautions for wearing a mask

Wash your hands before wearing a mask. After wearing a mask, try not to touch it. If you must touch, remember to wash your hands before and after touching.

When removing a mask, try not to touch the outside of the mask and wash your hands immediately after removing the mask. Disposable medical masks should not be reused.
