| Comment | A big problem I see is that a lot of people simply don't know how to use masks. i've seen police officers wearing them around their necks, people not covering their nose, people eating their chips after getting out and other trivial but problematic behaviours like removing the mask before they get to a point where they can wash / disinfect and then store the mask for later use in the day as if it's any better than wearing it around their neck.
The public need to be informed that if you properly wear a mask, you should assume that as soon as you've entered a high-risk area that your mask and hands / gloves are contaminated and that you should only be removing it if you intend to clean yourself and the mask or dispose of it.
The main advantage of people wearing masks is that they are less likely to spread germs, but if you're aiming to prevent yourself catching it, most people aren't using them correctly. |
