How to wear a mask the right way

Here are some tips to make sure you’re wearing your mask safely and effectively:

• Before you pick up your mask, wash your hands with soap and water.
• Avoid touching the fabric or paper – use the ear loops or ties instead.
• Make sure the mask fully covers both your nose and mouth. Ideally, it should go under your chin and across the bridge of your nose.
• You may need to pull on the ear loops or ties to ensure a snug fit. There should be no gaps on the side of your face.
• When you remove your mask, be careful not to touch the front of the mask or your face.
• Wash your hands after taking off the mask.
• If you’re using a cloth mask, wash and dry it every day.
