Q:How do you use a mask correctly? 💁 Tracy:   Proper use of disposable medical masks/ medical surgical masks Wash and disinfect your hands before wearing a mask Nose clips face up, darker outside clips face outward (they fold down) Pull up and down the folds to cover the mouth, nose and jaw Put your fingertips along the metal strip of the bridge of the nose, from the middle to the sides Slowly press inwards until it is close to the bridge of the nose Properly adjust the mask to make the mask fit the face If worn correctly, the N95 or equivalent mask will collapse and bulge obviously without air leakage when inhaling and exhaling If the mask is obviously wet or dirty, or the breathing resistance has noticeably increased, please do not continue to use it. Schematic diagram of wearing process ([2]): Please pay attention to distinguish between the top, bottom, inside and outside when wearing. Please note: the metal flexible strip is on
