Should You Wear A Face Mask?

These days, finding a proper face mask can be very difficult. It is important to know that there are many different types of face masks on the market and the ones that are recommended for use to protect you and those you love from the Coronavirus are called N95 respirators. These face masks are best designed to filter out anything that could carry the virus, but it is important that they are worn properly. You shouldn’t cross the rubber bands that hold it in place. The mask should fit snugly and the metal strap on top should be pushed close to your nose. Every time you don a mask, you should do a leak test by blowing out and feeling if there is air leaking out anywhere around the edge of the mask. It is recommended that only those that are suffering from the disease, those that are at risk and those caring for the elderly and sick use masks. The current situation is making it difficult for those that truly need masks to obtain them.
