How to Dispose Used Masks

How to Dispose of Used Masks so as not to Spread Covid-19 to Others - In the Covid-19 pandemic era, masks became mandatory items for activities outside the home.

This is done because the mask can prevent the movement of large particles, from bodily fluids that may contain viruses from sneezing or coughing someone.

Due to the large demand for masks, masks are now available in two types, cloth and medical masks. Well, for you medical mask users, you need to know the procedures for opening and removing the correct mask.

Quoting the Ministry of Communication and Informatics Instagram account, Friday (6/19/2020), here are 4 ways to open and dispose of a correct medical mask.

The Way Is:

• When opening the mask, make sure the hand does not hold the front of the mask but rather remove the earloop (mask strap) or headloop (mask link). 
•  Always replace the mask with a new one if it is damaged, dirty, or wet. 
• Before throwing a medical mask in the trash, first scissor the mask. 
• After the mask is removed, don't forget to wash your hands, if there is no washing place, you can use hand sanitizer.
