Get the protection from your mask

Masks should be snug over the nose, mouth and chin, with no gaps. You should feel warm air coming through the front of the mask when you breathe out. You shouldn't feel air coming out under the edges of the mask.

Masks that have a bendable nose strip help prevent air from leaking out of the top of the mask.

Some people choose to wear a disposable mask under their cloth mask. In that case, the cloth mask should press the edges of the disposable mask against the face. Don't add layers if they make it hard to breathe or obstruct your vision.

The products we provide include Surgical face mask, etc.

How to correctly wear the masks

Proper use, storage and cleaning of masks also affect how well they protect you. Follow these steps for putting on and taking off your mask:

Wash or sanitize your hands before and after putting on your mask.

Place your mask over your mouth and nose and chin.

Tie it behind your head or use ear loops. Make sure it's snug.

Don't touch your mask while wearing it.

If you accidentally touch your mask, wash or sanitize your hands.

If your mask becomes wet or dirty, switch to a clean one. Put the used mask in a sealable bag until you can get rid of it.

Remove the mask by untying it or lifting off the ear loops without touching the front of the mask or your face.

Wash your hands immediately after removing your mask.

Don't forget these precautions:

Don't put masks on anyone who has trouble breathing or is unconscious or otherwise unable to remove the mask without help.

Don't put masks on children under 2 years of age.

Don't use face masks as a substitute for physical distancing.

Suggestions

The disposable face masks should be worn while continuing to practice physical distancing and proper hygiene. Reserve surgical masks and N95 respirators for hospitals and healthcare workers.

N95 respirators can protect against contracting COVID-19 when used appropriately. People using N95 respirators need to be fit-tested to make sure the respirator seals effectively.

A surgical mask won’t protect you from contracting COVID-19. However, it can help prevent you from transmitting the virus to others.

Only wear a surgical mask if you have COVID-19 and need to be around others or if you’re caring for someone at home who can’t wear one. It’s very important that you only wear a surgical mask in the above situations.

It’s also important to note that a tight seal can’t be achieved in some groups. These include children and people with facial hair.
