Today we will give you examples of facial masks that you can make at home. As you know, after the Corona pandemic, it is very difficult to find a face mask on the market. For this reason, many people started making masks themselves.
But there are a few things you need to know about these masks. The virus protection of the masks you will make, including the surgical masks you have purchased, is very little or none. Still, if you have a disease, they can help prevent you from infecting another person.
In addition, if the masks you wear are moistened, the risk of keeping the virus on the mask increases. As long as you wear your face masks, they are affected by the moisture in your breath and their protection decreases.
Another point is that after wearing the masks, you should not touch the mask with your hand. If your hands touch your mask without being disinfected after contact with contaminated surfaces, you also increase the risk of the mask holding viruses.
Please visit www.who.int for more formal information about face masks. After all these warnings, we present you face mask making tutorials. First of all, stay at home, stay safe.
