Under normal epidemic prevention and control
Masks are essential
But over time
We wear masks “posture” began to be multifarious
Forward to remind
Do not wear a mask in any of the following ways
We are often on the street, in restaurants
I saw some people suffocating because they were wearing masks
Or to make it easier to eat
Pull the mask under your nose
Even up to the chin
Some even put masks on their arms!
Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University
Wang Jing, chief physician of respiratory medicine
The mask was placed over the chin
Can increase the risk of infection
Because of the skin on the chin and neck
Bacteria or viruses may be present
If you put a mask on your chin
The inner side of the mask
It becomes contaminated.
When you put the mask back on your nose and mouth
These bacteria or viruses
From the mucous membranes of the nose to the mucous membranes of the mouth
Into respiratory tract
Thus causing the associated disease infection
“Especially with this omicron spread
It’s very hidden
And the transmission is very strong.”
In addition to
Others do it for convenience
Put a mask on your arm
The arm has wide range of motion
Bacteria and dust attach easily
There are also big risks
Apart from the fact that the posture of wearing the mask is not correct
And some friends
In pursuit of individual expression
Wear some of the so-called “transparent masks” of Internet celebrities.
But these masks are made of plastic
Neither aerate nor filter virus particles
There is no protection
To this, disease control experts suggest
“The average healthy person
In some crowded public places
Use disposable surgical masks.”
Proper medical masks need to pass air tightness tests
If it doesn’t fit the face
Protection will be greatly reduced
When people wear masks
You can test yourself in a simple way
The face of the mask collapses slightly on inhalation
And when you exhale, you puff up
Note The air tightness of the mask is sufficient
When the bridge of the nose or cheeks leaks air
Masks need to be adjusted
