Is there any special way to wear a mask?

Choosing the right mask and wearing it improperly will still give the virus an opportunity.

The most important thing to note is that it is wrong to wear a mask after entering an environment with viruses. In addition, don't squeeze or touch the outer surface of the mask often.

Because the virus separated from the mask surface may wet the mask with droplets during extrusion. In addition, touching the mask and then touching the nose and eyes may directly lead to the spread of the virus.

A suitable mask should be able to cover most of the face below the nose, mouth and eyes, with a width of 13 cm and a length of 16. 5 cm is appropriate.

In addition, the mask should be comfortable to wear, no matter how it is tied, it should be able to make the mask fit closely with the face. When exhaling forcibly, the air will not leak from the edge of the mask as the standard. Many people like to show their nostrils when wearing masks, which is wrong. Because people's mouths are mostly closed when they are not talking, people breathe through their noses, and masks should cover not only their mouths, but also their noses.

In addition, because the barrier of the mask will increase the resistance to breathing, wearing it for a long time will make people feel depressed. In addition, a part of protein and moisture exhaled by the human body adhere to the inner layer of the mask, which is easy to breed bacteria and is not good for the body.

At the same time, the nasal mucosa will become fragile, which will lead to the decline of its own resistance, but it will not be worth the candle. Therefore, wearing a mask should not be too long, generally not more than 6 hours. Once the mask is soaked, it should be replaced.

People with heart or respiratory diseases should not wear it for a long time. When preventing influenza, the most important thing is to have a clear understanding of influenza.

Masks are not everything, they are only part of the flu prevention. In life, washing hands frequently, maintaining good hygiene habits and avoiding "getting together" in crowded places are essential measures to prevent influenza.
