7 Common Face Mask Mistakes Everyone Should Avoid

Are you wearing the mask correctly or still making these common face mask mistakes? This is just one simple question for which answer is still NO even after a year-long experience of covid. Maybe we are less serious or the virus is much stronger, whatsoever reality is that covid-19 cases are flooding in the country causing shortage of almost every essential needed to save a life.

This safety measure is one of the reasons behind it and we can't deny. Even after a year, people still don't know how to properly wear a face mask. Vaccination and other safety measures are definitely a way to curb the rising cases but we are not going to win over Covid-19 until this small measure is properly followed.

Sharing Is Not Caring

This is very common mistake seen among public. People are sharing masks with the members of their family. A mask is a personal item now, so do not share it with anyone not even with your close ones. Because by sharing you are actually spreading the tiny droplets of virus trapped inside the cloth masks and sweat with others.

Reusing Disposable Mask

In this tough time, if you are thinking of saving some money on masks you are making a big mistake. Cloth masks are washable but if you are using disposable masks like surgical ones then discard it after each use.

It's hard to touch our face even if it's covered but experts recommend not touching the masks once they are on the face. Moreover, avoid touching the inner area of mask. And if you feel the need to remove it, make sure you store the mask separately in a bag or hold it from the strings.
