Face mask check: Are you being hygienic enough?
Read full article: Face mask check: Are you being hygienic enough?By now, wearing a face mask when youโre out and about or around crowds of people should be nothing new. Hereโs what the WHO had to say about using a fabric mask:Wash your hands before putting on the mask. If you need to use the mask again, hold it at the elastic loops when removing it from the bag. If hot water is not available, wash the mask in soap or detergent and room-temperature water, followed by either boiling the mask for 1 minute OR; by soaking the mask in 0.1% chlorine for 1 minute and thoroughly rinsing the mask with room-temperature water (there should not be any toxic residue of chlorine on the mask). Make sure youโre continuing to socially distance yourself from people who arenโt in your household, keep washing those hands and try to avoid touching your face as much as possible.

In an effort to fight the spread of the coronavirus, masks have been mandated for wear in plenty of places, so perhaps your mask has become second nature. That not only makes it a little more fun for those wearing the masks, but for us who are out people-watching (and unable to actually see peopleโs faces). And perhaps you just might give some others some fun ideas to work with.
