How to use face mask correctly

Disposable face masks are designed to protect the wearer from inhaling dangerous bacteria and from spreading bacteria they may already be infected with. There are multiple types of face masks available to purchase, each offering varying degrees of protection. They only work, however, when they are worn correctly and disposed of responsibly.

Some general guidance is outlined below, but always follow the product manufacturer’s instructions before opening the package and putting on the mask.

Before putting on your respiratory protective gear, you should first wash your hands with soap and water before touching the mask. Wash your hands thoroughly and for about 30 seconds, lathering the soap evenly over your whole hand. Once your hands are clean and dry – use a disposable paper towel to dry your hands – remove the medical face mask from the box.

Before you wear a mask, inspect the mouth mask for signs of tearing or wear. If there are no signs of tears or small holes, then hold the mask with the stiff edge pointing toward your forehead. This stiff edge contains the bendable material that you can shape to fit snugly over the bridge of your nose, completely covering both your nose and mouth. If your mask has ear loops then loop them over your ears, ensuring that your face is covered completely. Each breath should be drawn through the cloth face coverings so if you can breathe through the side of your mask then it does not fit snugly enough, and you should replace it with a smaller fit before entering a public setting.

If you have facial hair, ensure that the mask sits firmly against your face and that there are no gaps around the edge of the mask through which you may inhale unfiltered air.

When you buy masks to help protect you and your family against spreading and contracting dangerous germs, you’re taking a positive step in the fight against community transmission of illnesses. To maximize your protection, couple your face mask with a strict personal hygiene procedure where you regularly wash your hands with warm water and soap, use hand sanitizer with an ethanol content of at least 60% and maintain social distancing.
