Proper usage and disposal of masks are essential for their effectiveness. Here are some tips:
Wash hands before putting on a mask. Ensure the mask fits snugly against the sides of the face without gaps. Avoid touching the mask while wearing it; if you do, clean your hands immediately. Remove the mask by handling the ear loops or ties, and avoid touching the front. Dispose of single-use masks in a closed bin and wash reusable masks regularly.
