How to Properly Wash Your Hands and Use Masks

Proper Handwashing Technique

• To begin washing hands, gather all necessary items: towel and soap. Turn on the water and let it run.

• Apply soap with a little water, rubbing both palms together, including the back of the hands. Ensure to scrub for at least 20 seconds.

• Clean between fingers and around thumbs using a rotational motion. Rinse thoroughly under running water.

• Dry hands with a towel; use one part of the towel to dry one hand before drying the other.

• Turn off the tap using a towel to avoid recontamination, then dispose of the used towel properly.

Correct Mask Usage

• Before putting on a mask, ensure hands are clean. Identify the metal strip that fits over the nose bridge.

• Place the mask securely over your nose and chin without leaving gaps; it should not sit below your nose or above your chin.

• Once positioned correctly, do not adjust or touch it again until removal is necessary.

• To remove, use one hand to pull off the elastic band without touching the front of the mask; dispose of it safely afterward.

When to Seek Medical Attention

• If experiencing respiratory symptoms such as increased nasal discharge, cough, body aches, or fever, seek medical attention promptly.

• Contact healthcare services for assistance regarding any health concerns or questions related to symptoms experienced.
