The world these days is gripped with the fear of\u00a0<\/span>Coronavirus<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and face masks are a very important component to save us from catching an infection. But due to the pandemic, the world is facing a shortage of these masks and hence judicious use of face masks is paramount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people think it’s fine to\u00a0<\/span>pull their mask under their chin for a quick snack or a sip of water<\/span><\/a>, or even hang\u00a0their mask\u00a0from one ear because it’s too troublesome to take the whole thing off. However, we may have picked up germs from touching dirty objects like door handles, tables or chairs. We then subconsciously touch areas on our face after, including our chin. Once we pull the mask under our chin, it is\u00a0<\/span>possible for germs to transfer\u2002to the mask and subsequently to our face<\/span><\/a>\u00a0when we put the mask back on. This increases our chances of getting infected with the virus when out in public.<\/span><\/p>\n

While eating, we should store our mask in a mask keeper instead of placing it on the table. Mask keeper are a good option to let the mask dry, in case there is remaining moisture on it. This\u00a0<\/span>prevents growth of any mould or fungus on the mask<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important thing to remember is to clean your hands before and after remove the mask, as well as before putting it back on. Storing your masks properly while eating is just one other step\u00a0to keeping yourself\u00a0safe while out.<\/span><\/p>\n
