A simple mask is good , an N95 is even better, but please do not use masks with exhaust valves. The valve provides “breathability” when you exhale by releasing your breath and its contagion carrying respiratory droplets. These masks protect no-one.1/

If you’re using a cotton/fabric mask, make sure it’s not sieve-like.This leaks virus carrying droplets. Make sure the mask covers your nose and mouth. Masks help prevent you from getting and transmitting the virus. 2/

Mask hygiene. Do not touch the outer surface of the mask. Remove the mask by disengaging the earloops without touching the outer surface and discard it (if disposable) or wash it immediately on return.3/

.Treat every individual you meet as an asymptomatic COVID carrier. Treat every surface you touch as potentially contaminated. That is the meaning of community transmission. Carry a sanitiser on your person. Frequently sanitise your hands after touching surfaces or objects. 4/

As we go about our lives, try your best not to get infected. Avoid stepping out, as much as possible, particularly for non-essential activities. 5/
