Wearing a mask, these errors cannot be committed

Wuhan Evening News September 4 (Reporter Jiang Mengqing) In daily life, many inadvertent habits may cause pollution to the mask. What are the common errors of wearing masks? How do masks store more hygienic? On September 1, Hu Yi, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Critical Medicine of Wuhan Central Hospital, said in an interview with the Yangtze River Daily reporter: The correct use, storage and cleaning of masks are the key to maintaining its effectiveness. Citizen friends should try to try to try to daily as much as possible Avoid errors and use.

Wear a mask for a day

"The masks are basically disposable, and some people want to save one a day." Hu Yi pointed out that if cough, sneezing, or other reasons, the mask is soaked, or dirt, deformation, damage, odor, odor, odor appear. It needs to be replaced in time, and the cumulative wearing time for each mask should not exceed 8 hours.

Pick off the mask and put it at will

The mask that needs to be reused, hangs on the elbow bent, placed on the table at will, or put it directly into the bag or pocket. It is easily contaminated, and it is also easy to pollute the surrounding environment or items. Hu Yi suggested that there are special circumstances that you need to pick the mask. It should be folded and folded the side of the counter. It is best to store it in the original bag, or prepare a clean small bag to store it alone.

Wrong wearing exposure nose

The mask was pulled to the chin, hung on the ears, exposed the nose, and there was no protective effect. Wear the mask correctly to ensure that the mask covers the nose and chin, and the nose clip should be compacted.

Only pursue styles ignore protection

Some people do not pay attention to whether the mask can protect the virus when buying a mask, and only pursue a stylish and foreign mask. Hu Yi said that not all masks can prevent the new coronary pneumonia virus. There are many types of masks on the market, such as activated carbon masks, cotton masks, sponge masks, sunscreen masks, etc. Because the materials are not dense enough, the effect of preventing new crown infections is very limited. Only medical masks, medical surgical masks, or above -level masks (such as N95, KN95) can prevent new coronal virus infections to a certain extent. However, it should be noted that the mask should be purchased through regular channels such as pharmacies and shopping malls.

Touch the outside of the mask by hand

The mask can block the harmful viruses and bacteria of the outside world, so the outermost layer is the dirty. After touching it with your hands, if you do not wash your hands in time, it will increase the probability of contact spread.

Hu Yi emphasized that standardizing wearing masks is the most cost -effective and simplest protection method, which can not only prevent patients from spraying droplets, reduce the amount of droplets and jet speed, but also block the virus -containing droplet cores, prevent the wearer from inhaling, and greatly reduce the reduction of the wearer. The risk of infection must be worn and used correctly in daily life.

In addition, Hu Yi reminded citizens to continue to strengthen the consciousness of the first health responsible person, strengthen ventilation and gas when home, do a good job of cleaning and disinfection, pay attention to personal hygiene, and seek medical treatment in time when there are symptoms. After strengthening hand hygiene, after touching the public parts, it will perform local disinfecting in a timely manner; maintain a safe social distance, reduce the densely personnel places, and reduce activities such as gathering and dinner.
