1. Before eating or preparing food

2. Before touching your face

3. After using the restroom

4. After leaving a public place

5. After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing

6. After handling your mask

7. After changing a diaper

8. After caring for someone who’s sick

9. After touching animals or pets

B. Wear a mask by CDC

Face masks have become essential accessories in protecting yourself and others from contracting COVID-19. The CDC recommends that people wear face coverings in public settings, especially since studies have shown that individuals with the novel coronavirus could be asymptomatic or presymptomatic.

Here are the basics of how to wear a mask by WHO:

Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it off, and after you touch it at any time.

Make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin.

 

When you take off a mask, store it in a clean plastic bag, and every day either wash it if it’s a fabric mask, or dispose of a medical mask in a trash bin.

Don’t use masks with valves.
