Choosing materials:
Outside layer = splash-proof AND breathable
Filter layer = exchangeable (cut vacuum bag, dried wipe or even tissue paper)
Inside layer = breathable AND absorbent
You will need several masks to exchange daily, or when necessary. (3/5)

Some comparations. TWCECC's been educating general public to use surgical masks when visiting hospitals, taking care of patients, or having URTI. But we only get 3 surgical masks/week, so ppl also use fabric masks for daily protecton. (4/5)

What they need is "mask-covers", because HCWs've been asked to re-use N95 respirators. Mask-cover is worn outside of a N95/surgical mask, so *breathability* is more important.

When using surgical mask, remember to press the wire on top of the mask (near your nose) so it can be more face-fitting.

Another important thing: after removing your mask, *wash your hands right away*. The outside (or if the wearer's sick, then the inside also) is considered *contaminated*, so remove and dispose with minimum contact, then do hand hygiene immediately.

"How to sterilize surgical masks with a rice cooker" by Audrey Tang.
Keep the used mask AWAY from DIRECT heat!!! (Or it melted.)
110℃ of DRY HEAT for 8 mins.
Can keep BFE>99%, but PFE drops a bit each time (-1.3~-14.2% by TFDA). Max 3-5 times. https://twitter.com/audreyt/status/1245381627804450816?s=19
