How To Use A Face Mask Safely

Ensure your face mask is clean and dry and is not damaged.

Before putting on your face mask, clean your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitiser (containing at least 60 percent alcohol). Ensure your hands are dry.

Place the face mask over your nose and mouth and secure with ties or loops.

Make sure the mask fits snugly, molded to your face and around your nose.

Make sure the mask fully covers your nose, mouth and chin.

Your mask should be comfortable, with no gaps around the mask and your face, and allow you to breathe easily.

Clean your hands again (as above).
