First, we need to know how the protective capabilities of masks work. According to the principle of medical masks, the protective ability of masks mainly relies on the electrostatic fiber layer to block and adsorb particles. Therefore, when the mask gets wet, its protective ability will be greatly reduced. So, what should you do for this? In fact, when you go out, you can prepare an extra pair of masks so that you can replace them in time when they get wet.
In addition, one thing everyone needs to pay attention to is that there is no need to wear a mask in an open area. At this time, everyone can untie the mask without worrying about the risk of infection. Moreover, the reason why everyone`s masks get wet is because the outdoor and indoor heat alternates, so when you enter the room, you can take off the mask. However, this kind of behavior cannot be done in a station with a large number of people. Because there are too many people coming and going, and there are tourists from other places. So there is a security risk.
In addition, everyone should also pay attention to how to wear masks correctly and to keep and clean them.
I believe everyone knows that masks have fronts and backs, so remember not to wear them alternately. In addition, many people choose to wear masks to each other in order to show their intimacy. However, this behavior is obviously wrong and cross-infection is prone to occur. In addition, almost all masks have a frequency of use, so they should be replaced regularly, instead of wearing a mask many times and using it repeatedly. Moreover, it is not recommended to use the used mask again after washing it.
If it is a second-use mask, how should it be stored and cleaned? Many people will use a mask just when they go out to pick up a courier, so they think it's a waste. So when I come back, I will not throw away the mask, but will choose to use it again. So what should we pay attention to in this process? First, you should hang the mask in a clean, dry vent, and store it separately afterwards to avoid mixing with unused masks.
In summary, the mask will indeed affect its protective effect after being wet, so everyone should replace it in time. In addition, if it is a second-use mask, you also need to pay attention to the correct preservation.
