How do I properly wear a fabric mask during the COVID-19 pandemic?
How to put on and wear a fabric mask:
• Before touching the mask, clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• Inspect the mask for tears or holes, do not use a mask that is damaged.
• Adjust the mask to cover your mouth, nose, and chin, leaving no gaps on the sides.
• Place the straps behind your head or ears. Do not cross the straps because this can cause gaps on the side of your face.
• Avoid touching the mask while wearing it. If you touch it, clean your hands.
• Change your mask if it gets dirty or wet.
