We as an individual can control Covid-19 virus and keep our country safe, by staying careful and use mask every time we go out. It is important to use mask in every place whether you are feeling sick or not. Research has shown that using a face mask can greatly reduce the risk of infection when combined with other preventive measures.
There are many companies who have started manufacturing face masks in large quantities. They have made masks available in bulk to ensure there is no shortage of the same. Custom Earth Promos, a company located at Delray Beach Florida, USA are specialized in making reusable custom bags and high-quality face masks. These are made from natural recycled bottles and other recycled material.
Here are some frequently asked questions about face masks:
- Why do we need to wear a face covering or a mask?
This Covid-19 virus is an airborne disease, which spreads through respiratory droplets released when people sneeze, cough or talk. Many asymptomatic people do not know that they have this virus in them thus spreading it to others, especially those who have prolonged close contact with another person. Hence, covering your face will protect other people from getting infected too. Example: 2 hair stylist in Missouri (who were Covid-19 positive) did not transmit this virus to 139 clients whom they interacted with. This was because they were wearing face mask.
- How do we wear the mask?
A face cover or a mask can include a cloth mask, a disposable mask, a scarf or a bandana. It should completely cover your nose and mouth. Make sure you are comfortable with it and is not tight or restrictive.
- Where do we get these face masks?
Face masks are available in any medical shop or vendor. However, make sure the ones that you are buying, do not have any holes or openings, which are made for easy exhaling. They should not be made of mesh or any other material which has holes in it.
- Can any business refuse to entertain customers who are not wearing masks?
Yes, masks are compulsory especially in public places. Any business can refuse entry or service to any person who are not wearing mask to ensure safety for them and other customers.
- Are there any exceptions to who must wear a face mask?
Face masks are not compulsory for children aged 5 years and less. Also we can consider individuals with respiratory medical conditions, where wearing a mask makes them uncomfortable. A face covering is not required while eating or drinking while seated in a restaurant. Even during exercising, you can avoid face mask as it interferes with your activity.
- Are there any precautions to take while wearing a mask?
While wearing a mask, make sure you wash your hand thoroughly with soap and water. Also, avoid touching your face while removing it. It is better to remove it from ear loops.
We hope that all of us will stand together to make a difference to our society and fight against virus.
