Choose the Right Mask: Use a well-fitting surgical mask or a high-quality respirator (e.g. N95, KN95) for optimal protection.
Ensure a Good Seal: Adjust the nosepiece and straps so there are no gaps around the sides of your face.
Wear It Properly: Cover both your nose and mouth completely, and avoid touching the front of the mask.
Replace Regularly: Discard disposable masks after one use; wash or replace reusable cloth masks daily or whenever they become damp.
Dispose Responsibly: Fold used masks with the outside in, place them in a sealed bag, and throw them in the trash.
Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before putting on and after removing your mask.
