Should I wear a mask to protect myself?<\/span><\/h5>\n

Here is what the World Health Organization (WHO) says on April 7, 2020 (the situation evolves, the recommendations may change):<\/p>\n

Only wear a mask if you are ill with COVID-19 symptoms (especially coughing) or looking after someone who may have COVID-19. Disposable face mask can only be used once. If you are not ill or looking after someone who is ill then you are wasting a mask. There is a world-wide shortage of masks, so WHO urges people to use masks wisely.<\/p>\n

WHO advises rational use of medical masks to avoid unnecessary wastage of precious resources and mis-use of masks<\/p>\n

The most effective ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 are to frequently clean your hands, cover your cough with the bend of elbow or tissue and maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from people who are coughing or sneezing.<\/p>\n

How to put on, use, take off and dispose of a mask?<\/span><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Remember, a mask should only be used by health workers, care takers, and individuals with respiratory symptoms, such as fever and cough.<\/li>\n
  2. Before touching the mask, clean hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water<\/li>\n
  3. Take the mask and inspect it for tears or holes.<\/li>\n
  4. Orient which side is the top side (where the metal strip is).<\/li>\n
  5. Ensure the proper side of the mask faces outwards (the coloured side).<\/li>\n
  6. Place the mask to your face. Pinch the metal strip or stiff edge of the mask so it moulds to the shape of your nose.<\/li>\n
  7. Pull down the mask\u2019s bottom so it covers your mouth and your chin.<\/li>\n
  8. After use, take off the mask; remove the elastic loops from behind the ears while keeping the mask away from your face and clothes, to avoid touching potentially contaminated surfaces of the mask.<\/li>\n
  9. Discard the mask in a closed bin immediately after use.<\/li>\n
  10. Perform hand hygiene after touching or discarding the mask \u2013 Use alcohol-based hand rub or, if visibly soiled, wash your hands with soap and water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
