A mask that blocks viruses, but it's dangerous if you use it incorrectly?

Masks have become a necessity in everyday life due to the endless COVID-19 around the world. Some people probably reuse masks because they don't want to throw them away after wearing them once. Today, we're going to talk about masks for those people.

Mask. Are you wearing it properly?

First of all, let me briefly explain how to wear the most important mask. I still see people on the street without wearing masks properly.

1. Keep the mask as close to your face as possible.

2. Do not touch the surface with your hands as much as possible after wearing a mask.

3. If you add tissue or cloth inside the mask, you should not add anything because it may reduce the original performance of the mask due to poor adhesion.

4. When taking off the mask, you should take off the strap, not the body, and wash your hands thoroughly with soap.

5. Masks used once should not be reused.

How should I take off my mask for a while?

1. It is best to keep the mask on a hook on the wall.

2. If you cannot keep it on foot, spread it as much as possible and keep it so that the place where your mouth can reach is below. And do not let the mask touch the floor.

3. In the case of disposable masks, washing should be avoided because the microstructure in the filter may be damaged.

What's the dangerous problem of reusing a mask?

It is recommended not to reuse a mask because the remaining bacteria in the mask as they can reproduce without dying and cause infection. Reusing the mask can cause infection due to germs on the mask. What if you wash or disinfect the mask? In this case, moisture in the mask increases, which can increase the risk of infection. This is also too bad.
