Shops Open Today, And Face Masks Must Be Worn. This Is A Step-By-Step Guide To Put On A Face Mask

As from today, the use of a mask in the community is obligatory when one enters a shop, bank branch, or when using public transport.

When putting a mask on:

1. Make sure that the mask covers the whole of your face from where the nose starts to under your chin, and that you tighten it against your face;
2. Wash your hands with soap and water or by alcohol sanitizer prior to putting on, or removing, the mask;
3. Never touch your face or the mask after you’ve worn it;
4. When removing the mask, start by removing it from the back where the laces are, and never from the front;
5. If the mask you’re wearing is single-use, make sure to dispose of it safely;
6. If your mask is multi-use, wash it immediately after each use, using normal detergent and at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. We’re to wear masks to not transmit the virus without our realizing it.

Even though shops open today, COVID-19 is still around us. So, at any time, stay safe and protect your health, and the health of those around you.
