Barrier gestures against covid-19
The current outbreak of covid-19 has forced us to change our habits. Among the behaviours recommended to prevent the spread of this virus, several so-called "barrier" gestures have been highlighted.
The first of these is the confinement itself, which invites French citizens to stay at home to reduce contacts. The second barrier gesture is to cough in one's elbow, allowing limit the amount of particles thrown into the air during coughing.
Anyone, whether they have symptoms or not, are also advised not to touch their faces until they have washed their hands, which brings us to the fourth protective gesture, hand cleaning which has seen stocks of hydroalcoholic gel fall in France..
Finally, two of the measures recommended have caused a great deal of interest in recent weeks: social distancing, which currently invites the French to stand at least 1m or even 1.5m apart in order to avoid contact, and the wearing a mask to reduce the spread of covid-19. Let's take a closer look at the latter.
Wearing a mask to protect yourself from coronavirus
First, it is important to remember what a "consumer mask" is. In fact, it is an anti-postillon mask, that is, a barrier against the projection of droplets. This type of accessory is used to filter between 70 and 90% of particles that could be harmful to health. It is used to cover the mouth and nose. Buying and wearing a mask is the solution as effective as possible found to avoid being contaminated with coronavirus.
In addition to the physical distance of 1.5 m and the frequent hand washing, the wearing an oral mask is one of the recommended safeguards. When wearing a mask, you avoid contaminating the environment in which you are, especially if it is a busy place such as a bus, office, subway or other.
The mouth mask not only protects you, but also protects others from the droplets you can cause by coughing, sneezing or just talking. The fine particles you emit or others emit may contain the virus. That's why it's important to'buy a coronavirus mask to reduce your risk of becoming infected.
How to buy masks
Since the beginning of the pandemic, purchases of covid-19 masks are almost no longer possible at pharmacies. To get it, you will have to go to the online sales sites. It's also a safer way to buy, since you don't have to go out to wait in line. Just order the model you like and wait for your package to be delivered.
However, choose masks that comply with European standards. Also be demanding when it comes to quality. Your mask should give you maximum protection from bacteria. The fabric must be flexible enough to fit the shape of your face perfectly. Also opt for a comfortable and comfortable mask to wear throughout the day.
How do you wear a mask for your safety?
It is important to cover your mouth and nose well. Don't forget to pinch the nasal bar according to the shape of your nose. Once your mask is properly fitted, don't touch it with your hands. It is recommended that'buy several spare masks, the maximum time to wear a mask is 3 hours.
