COVID-19 : The Importance of Wearing Mask
One of the preventive measures against COVID–19 is wearing masks.COVID–19 spreads when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. The virus comes out through the nose and mouth in droplets, and if a healthy person inhales the droplets, he or she get affected too. So, it is very important to wear masks when we are outside or among unknown people. Masks may prevent the virus from spreading easily in the air. Therefore, if a person feels sick, he or she must wear a mask to protect others. A mask may be given partial protection to a healthy person if he or she wears it. Though wearing a mask does not ensure complete safety, it slows down the spread of the virus significantly. Before wearing a mask, we have to wash our hands. We should place the mask over our nose and mouth and then secure it under our chain and behind the ears and head. We should not touch or adjust the mask frequently without cleaning our hands. We should use a mask once. However, the people who do not wear masks are at the risk of being easily infected by COVID–19. The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests that masks made of fabrics are more effective than surgical masks. Also, fabrics masks are washable, reusable, and more completable than other masks. Thus, wearing mask can play a vital role in checking COVID–19.
