Wearing Mask is not Enough for Corona Virus Prevention

Fierce discussion has been conducted abroad on whether the public should wear face masks. Every state has made specific policies and guides for their residents.

In China, the guide released by the government regulated that the masses should all wear masks in public after the epidemic broke out in 2019. World Health Organization (WHO) encourage countries, including China, which take similar measures, to conduct scientific research on if wearing mask is helpful to contain COVID-19. therefore, other countries can learn relevant experience from them.

However, is mask enough? Can mask protect us from virus absolutely? In the past, we could observe the action of those who wore mask in communities, parks or streets in China. So many examples can prove that only wearing mask is not enough for us to prevent virus.

Actually, while wearing face masks, you should also take some other prevention measures, such as washing your hands regularly and disinfect objects. In addition, you should know how to wear and take off your masks correctly. Of course, any irregular step cannot help us to prevent virus completely.

First of all, even though you wear a mask, it’s also possible for you to be infected with COVID-19 because you don’t wash your hands frequently or you touch your face with your unwashed hands. Smokers should also take notice. Smoking will not only harm others’ health, but spread virus from hands to mouth.

Next, you might take off your mask to spit, sneeze or cough. Maybe you might touch children’s mask, face or hair with your unwashed hands. In this case, you will also spread virus. It is found that COVID-19 can survive for 39 days even in sputum. Spit everywhere, you will spread virus everywhere.

Third, if you don’t wear or take off your mask correctly, you are still risked to be affected with the virus.

We have stayed at home for more than two months. And now, we want to go out and enjoy sunshine, fresh air and normal life. However, we should also pay attention to the threats of virus existence and its comeback.

Currently, COVID-19 spreads mainly through droplets or objects polluted by droplets. Therefore, from beginning to end, the best way for us to be far away from COVID-19 are the following three points:

1) Frequently wash our hands with soap or water-free hand sanitizer containing alcohol.

We can take the mono dose hand sanitizer with us in our bag or pocket, every time when we wash our hands while we are in the public places, we should protect us in this way. The hand sanitizer can be filled and packed in the following ways:

A. To fill the hand sanitizer in small sachet on the sachet packagng machine

B. To fill and pack hand sanitizer in small mono dose plastic bottle in forming filling and sealing machine

C. To fill and pack hand sanitizer in blister on the blister packaging machine

D. To fill sanitizer in the tube by tube filling and sealing machine

2) Regularly disinfect some objects which we usually contact.

3) Keep 1m away from each other in public.

4) Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your unwashed hands (even though you wear a mask).

5) Cover your nose and mouth with your elbow or a tissue while sneezing or coughing.
