The novel respiratory illness coronavirus disease 2019 (referred to popularly as simply “coronavirus” and abbreviated as COVID-19) has spread to over 150 countries around the globe. It all started with China and spread all around.
With the spread of Covid-19 World Health Organization has educated people about how it spread person-to-person in close contact through small droplets people discharge when they exhale or cough. The droplets can accumulate on surfaces, objects, and body parts, where other people can pick them up and transfer the virus into their own eyes, nose, or mouth.
That’s the reason we all have received the precautions of COVID-19, which includes wearing a mask but are we taking care of hygiene. Well, the educated people are conscious but the majority of the people are not careful about Mask Hygiene.
In this new world, we all are wearing a face-covering in public to protect others around us, however, it’s important to stop the spread. And of course, If we all abide, we’ll all be better protected.
Yet there are two types of masks we have seen Medical Mask Or Cloth Mask. Although the protection varies but still they act as physical barriers against viral droplets.

Here are some hygienic tips that we need to follow:
● First of all your hands should be clean and dry, before you put your mask on.
● Kindly note down that you have to wash your hand before and after you take them off your mask whether it’s medicated or cloth.
● Whatever the material you’ll going to use do make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin.
● If you are using medicate mask then use it for 24 hrs, and you can secure it for clean plastic or paper bag.
