Practices To Avoid When Putting On A Face Mask
- Do not touch the front of the face mask. If you do, clean your hands and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid touching your face, as infection can still be introduced by touching your eyes or if you are not wearing your face mask correctly.
- Face masks should not be moved during use. This includes being pulled up or pulled down below your chin. If you need to remove your mask (for example, to eat) – remove it safely, dispose of it appropriately (or wash if a home-made facial covering or cloth mask) and clean your hands.
- Replace the face mask if it becomes damp, damaged or soiled.
