JAKARTA, iNews.id – Face mask This is one of the most important things during the Covid-19 pandemic. Wearing the right mask can be a powerful way to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Unfortunately, until now there are still many people who do not wear masks properly when doing outdoor activities. The habit of wearing the wrong mask actually becomes ineffective and has the potential to cause Covid-19 transmission.
Summarizing from the official Instagram page of the Committee for the Acceleration of Covid-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN), @lawancovid19_id, Friday (23/7/2021), there are eight ways to use masks correctly to be effective in protecting themselves from the Covid-19 virus.
1. Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer before wearing a mask.
2. Wear a mask clean, undamaged and dirty.
3. Make sure the mask tightly covers the nose, mouth, and chin area.
4. Press the top of the mask so that it closes following the shape of the nose.
5. Wear a double mask is better, with a combination of medical masks plus cloth masks.
6. Avoid touching the front of the mask when using it.
7. Remove the mask from the back strap.
8. Wash hands again with soap or clean with hand sanitizer after removing the mask.
In addition, the public must also pay attention to two important things before disposing of used masks so as not to harm the environment and other people. The trick is to disinfect the mask, soak it in a disinfectant/chlorine/bleach solution. After that, cut or break the used mask so that it cannot be reused.
