Face Mask General Guide
General guidance for disposable and resusable face masks
- Face masks provide levels of protection depending on the quality of fabric, the seal, possible filters, how they are fitted. The most important person to wear a mask is an infected person, to block droplets from being breathed and coughed. It is considered likely that COVID viruses remain airborne, so uninfected people benefit from earing masks depending on the quality of fit.
-
A fluid-repellant layer on the outside layer of your mask gives the best protection.
-
Three-layer masks are best. Two layers are the minimum.
-
Have one for each time of the day you think you’ll need it (for example, one for the train in the morning, one for when you are out buying lunch and one for the train in the evening). Consider where yoou will dispose of it, so a plastic bag would be useful.
-
Handle used masks safely. You wouldn’t leave your used tissue on your desk or hanging around your neck. Treat your used mask like a used handkerchief.
-
Clean your hands before and after you put on your mask or any time you feel like you want to adjust your mask. Having hand sanitiser in a small bottle with you at all times will help keep you safe.
- Reusable masks can be machine washed with our laundry. Hand washing needs to carefully follow appropriate procedures.
-
Masks are not for babies and children under two years old. Masks can be choking hazardofs for infants and toddlers.
-
Remember, the safest thing is to not go into a crowded place. Masks help you protect other people, they are not a substitute for physical distancing.
-
