TIPS ON MAKING AND USING MASKS
Use caution when removing gloves and/or face coverings. Consider them contaminated. Discard in covered trash can or wash in hot water with soap. If you can't wash them right away, put them in a plastic bag and seal it.
According to the WHO, the use of (cloth coverings and non-medical) masks should be combined with other measures, such as hand sanitizing and social distancing. Specific recommendations for proper use include:
Before putting on a mask, clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask.
Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not reuse masks until they have been washed.
To remove the mask: remove it from behind – do not touch the front of the mask and clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Place used cloth masks in a bag or bin until they can be washed with detergent/soap and hot water.
