How to wear, use and remove the mask?

Before wearing a mask, hands should be treated with alcohol-based products or washed with soap. Wear the mask so that it covers nose and mouth and make sure there is no space between face and the mask.
Do not touch the mask while wearing it, and in case you touch it, make sure your hands are treated with alcohol or washed with soap.
When the mask gets wet, replace it with a new one and do not use the disposable mask twice.
When you remove the mask, touch only ear loops (avoid touching the front of the mask) and immediately throw it into the closed waste container.
Afterwards, treat your hands with sanitizer or wash with water and soap.
Healthy people should wear a mask if they help a person suspected of having COVID-19.
Wear a mask if you cough or sneeze.
The mask is an effective protective measure when combined with regular hand washing with soap or cleaning with alcohol-containing antiseptics.
If you wear a mask you should know the rules of using and removing disposable medical masks.
