Surgical masks:

Kawach surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable mask that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose from contact with droplets, splashes, and sprays that may contain germs. The kawach surgical mask also filters large particles present in the air. Surgical masks may protect others by reducing exposure coming from the saliva and respiratory secretions of the mask wearer.

Surgical masks do not give complete protection from germs and other contaminants. Because of the loose-fitting between the surface of the face mask and your face. Also, surgical masks are used only 1-2 times after that your mask is not fit for use and does not protect you. After the use of masks 1-2 times, it is advisable to safely discard your mask, place it in a plastic bag, and put it in the trash. Wash your hands properly after handling the used mask.

Here are some face mask precautions to remember:

1. 1. 1. • Don’t use masks if you have trouble breathing or are unconscious.
         • Don’t use a mask already used by someone else.
         • Don’t put masks on children under 2-3 years of age.

As coronavirus spreads through from contamination, this is compulsory to use face masks, sanitizer and not touch your face. If possible, stay at your home.
