15.01.2022 Don’t be half masked! Remember these steps to wearing your mask correctly. Wash your hands before putting on the mask. Make sure it covers your nose and ...mouth and fits snugly under your chin, over the bridge of your nose and against the sides of your face. Do not touch the front of the mask while wearing it. To remove the mask wash or sanitise your hands first. Carefully remove your mask by grasping the ear loops or untying the ties. If your mask has filters, remove them and throw them away. Fold the mask and put it directly into the laundry or into a disposable or washable bag for laundering. Wash or sanitise your hands after removing the mask.
