Change your mask as soon as it is wet and be sure to clean it after each use!

Here is all the information you need to put on and take offy our mask correctly

 
 

Put on mask

1.

First, wash your hand thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds.

2.

Hold the cleaned and dried mask on its elastic loops and put them over your ears or tie the bands at the back of your head.

3.

If you have a mask with nose bridge or adjustable metal wire, press it gently against your nose.

4.

To protect others, it is important to cover your mouth, nose and chin. In this way you avoid infecting others while coughing, sneezing or speaking.

5.

The closer the mask fits your face, the better you are protected. The mask should stay in place as much as possible.

6.

Please still keep a distance of 1.5 meters to other people.

Put off mask

1.

First, wash your hand thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds.

2.

In case the mask has been tied to the head with several bands, please open the lower ones first.

3.

Remove the mask very carefully while holding the elastics or loops. The mask itself could have coronaviruses stuck to it — on the outside and the inside. After you removed the mask, DO NOT touch your face! Immediately dispose of the mask, ideally in a lidded waste bin. Put the cloth masks in a separate laundry or plastic bag. It is your responsibility to ensure that no other persons come into contact with your used masks and thus be put at risk. Immediately wash your hands again thoroughly for 20 seconds.

4.

All cloth masks must be washed at 60 degrees or boiled in hot water after each use. The cloth masks can be ironed. It is important to let the mask dry completely before you use it again.

5.

If you couldn’t avoid being coughed or sneezed on, change the mask immediately and wash your face with soap. Very important: First wash your hands!

If you can sew, use your skills and make yourself a mask. But of course there are also easier alternatives. Don’t forget to wash your hands before you start your DIY project!
