When to use a mask

Can masks protect against the new coronavirus infection?

Wearing a medical mask can help limit the spread of some respiratory diseases. However, using a mask alone is not guaranteed to stop infections. Their use should be combined with other preventive measures. Watch this short video to find out more.

😷 If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected 2019-nCoV infection.
😷 Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.
😷 Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
😷 If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.

😷 Before putting on a mask, clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
