Handle Masks Properly To Reduce Risks

Contributed By: Caregivers Penny & Merry


Face masks are the new normal. A simple way to reduce the risk of contaminating your mask is to wash or sanitize your hands before you pick up a mask to put it on. When taking it off, you want to reduce the risk of transferring the virus to yourself. Be careful not to touch your eyes, nose and mouth when removing a mask. Place your used face covering in a closed trash or laundry bin. Then wash or sanitize your hands immediately.
