How to use Mask?

In the period of Corona face mask is a daily companion. The mask is important when you leave the house. But how long can a mask be used? We also need a clear idea about that. Let's not know about the duration of using the mask-

All types of masks have a deadline for use. Then it is better not to use that mask anymore. There are generally three types of masks available in the market, these masks have different expiration dates. Health experts say there are a few signs that it is time to change masks.

According to doctors, the N95 mask is the most useful. If you use a cloth mask, it must be three layers. If the mask is loose, torn, damp, and if the mask is worn, the glasses are blurred. Then it is time to change the mask.

The reason for wearing a mask is that the breath we breathe enters the body completely through the mask. But if it is loose or torn, then there is no benefit in wearing that mask. Even if the nose and mouth are not completely covered, the mask is of no use.

If the nose and mouth are not covered, 50 percent of the breath enters the body without being filtered. In addition, if you wear a mask, the glass of the glasses becomes blurred, as a result of which air is entering the surroundings without the mask. In this case, change the mask. If the N95 mask is torn or damp, replace it immediately. And the surgical mask should not be used for more than 4-6 hours.

Ames Hospital in India has given instructions on how to use the mask. There, it is said, put a set of 5 N95 masks at the beginning of the month. Each will be packed separately. Mark each mask from 1 to 5.

Then wear mask number 1 on the first day. Return home at the end of the day and put the mask back in the packet. Wear the second mask the next day. Thus wear a new mask every day until the fifth day. Then on the sixth day, take mask number 1 out of the packet and wear it again.

Thus, after 1 month, but all five masks in the dustbin and put a set of five new masks. Remember, if your mask is safe, you will be safe too.
