Guide to wearing face masks
We've put together a simple guide on how to wear a face mask
Why wear a mask?
Germs can be transmitted by respiratory droplets over a short distance or through direct contact with a patient's secretions. When someone talks, coughs, or sneezes they may release tiny virus-laden droplets into the air that can infect others. Wearing a mask offers protection against infections from microbes such as novel coronavirus.

Wearing a mask not only helps filter out virus laden droplets in the external environment for healthy individuals, but also helps limit the spread of germs. If someone has a contagious respiratory tract infection, wearing face mask can help reduce the number of germs that the wearer releases and can protect other people from becoming sick. A face mask also protects the wearer’s nose and mouth from splashes or sprays of body fluids.
