Before putting it on, you should wash your hands thoroughly. The mask should fit well. Your mouth and nose should be completely covered. As soon as the mask gets wet, you need to change it. You should only touch the strap when putting it on and off. The easiest way to do this is by undoing the bands behind your ears. You should keep the worn mask in a plastic bag or clean it directly. Don't forget to wash your hands again.
