For a mask to fulfill its function you must know how to put it on and take it off. Here are the simple steps on how to do it properly.
Consider wearing the mask when you are coughing or sneezing (with or without a fever) and you will be around other people. The mask will help protect you from spreading the disease.

Disposable masks should only be used once and then thrown away. You should also remove and replace it if it is wet.
Always follow the product instructions on how to store them and the procedures for putting them on and taking them off.
Remove the mask from the face:

2. Dispose of the mask in the trash. Wash your hands with soap and water again.
Put the mask on your face:
1. Wash your hands with soap and water.
