During these extremely testing times where the world is gripped with the fear of Corona virus and face masks is a very important factor to save us from catching an infection.
But due to this pandemic, the world is facing a shortage of these masks and hence proper use of face masks is imperative.
Don’t forget that it’s not just the use of a mask which is important but it’s equally essential to use it properly. The value of hand hygiene and sanitizing your hands with alcohol-based sanitizers or soap and water for at least 20 seconds cannot be underestimated. Don’t forget to disinfect frequently touched surfaces. Avoid touching eyes, face, nose and mouth as often as possible. Discard used tissues immediately into the dustbin. Disinfect the surfaces frequently with alcohol. Use a mask that fits snugly around your nose and it must be completely covering your nose and mouth and not just hanging loosely around the neck otherwise the purpose of using the mask is lost. The masks that are commonly in use are cloth masks, 3 layered surgical masks and N95 respirator.
Who Should Be Using Face Mask?

- Cloth mask – These masks are not ideally recommended when taking care of infected patients as they do not provide adequate protection but they are still better for routine use than not covering your mouth and nose.
- Surgical mask – Loose-fitting, a disposable device made of polypropylene, they might be effective in blocking particle droplets, splashes, sprays which may carry germs, keep them away from the reach of mouth and nose.
