Expert reminder: Irregular wearing masks will increase the risk of virus infection

During the epidemic, wearing a mask should be a must -have for citizens. What is exposed when wearing a mask? Pull the mask to the chin? On September 1st, the disease control expert said in an interview with a reporter that any bad wearing mask may provide the opportunity to the virus transmission. Citizens do not standardize wearing masks, which may increase the risk of new crown virus infection and cannot be a mask. It should be protected.

Experts said that in daily life, citizens may have the following irregularities to wear masks: "The mask is not tight, exposed noses or chin" "down to the chin", "hanging on the ears side" and so on. In addition, citizens may also have poor wearing masks, such as wearing masks to put in pockets or bags, throw them on the table or wear on their wrists or arms. Some people who love sweats will choose to put a layer of paper towels in the medical mask and use paper towels to suck sweat. This will affect the density of medical masks and reduce the protection effect.

Experts call for citizens to regulate wearing masks, change bad masks, correctly wear masks, and deal with abandoned masks, so that the mask can truly become a line of defense to maintain the health of the citizens, and effectively cut off the transmission of new coronary viruses.
