With the emergence of highly contagious variants, face masks remain an important tool in preventing the transmission of the virus. COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets when infected people, many of whom do not exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, cough, sneeze or talk. 

Hence, it is mandatory for all to wear face coverings to avoid the spread of coronavirus. You can also visit http://thehelloface.com/ to buy reusable face covering.

You should always wash your hands before putting on your face covering. Avoid touching it while you are wearing it and if you accidentally touch the front, wash your hands straight away. Make sure that the material fully covers your nose and mouth. You should check that it is tied securely and fits snugly against the side of your face.

Keep your spare face coverings in a clean, waterproof bag (such as a ziplock bag). You should carry a similar bag for used face coverings.

If you are a smoker, do not lift up your face covering to smoke. Instead, remove it completely and place it in your bag.

When you are removing your face covering, use the strings at the back. Do not touch the front. If your face covering is disposable, throw it in a bin immediately after use. If it is re-usable, you should wash it in hot water (60 degrees or hotter) with detergent.
