How to wear a "good" mask in summer

There are always different opinions

Let’s see if these recent statements are reliable?

Q: It’s too hot these days. Can I not wear a mask?

Answer: No!

Analysis: According to the "Guidelines for the Scientific Wearing of Masks by the Public", the general public should wear masks when in crowded places, such as offices, shopping malls, restaurants, conference rooms, workshops, etc., or when riding in elevators or public transportation. The dangers of not wearing masks can be seen more clearly in the following picture:

Question: Do I still need to wear a mask after receiving the new coronavirus vaccine?

Answer: Yes!

Analysis: Before the population immunity barrier is established, even if some people are vaccinated, everyone's prevention and control awareness and prevention and control measures cannot be relaxed. On the one hand, the vaccine immunity success rate is not 100%, and a small number of vaccinated people may still get sick during the epidemic. On the other hand, in the absence of an immune barrier, the new coronavirus is still easy to spread. Therefore, you should continue to wear a mask after vaccination, especially in public places and crowded places; other protective measures such as hand hygiene, ventilation, and maintaining social distance also need to be maintained.

Q: Can I put tissue inside the mask to absorb sweat?

Answer: No!

Analysis: First, putting a tissue under the mask will affect the tightness of the mask and reduce the protective effect; secondly, the tissue will greatly increase the breathing resistance after absorbing sweat, which can easily cause discomfort. If the facial skin is covered with a wet tissue for a long time, it will also damage the skin's barrier function.

Q: Can I wear a “cooling mask”?

Answer: Identify carefully!

Analysis: There are many "cooling masks" for sale online, which are a "cooling artifact" for wearing masks in the hot summer. However, this type of "cooling mask" has a short duration and cannot effectively solve the problem of wearing masks for a long time. In addition, due to the material, better technical processing is required to achieve a good protective effect. When choosing to buy, you must carefully check and be sure to buy products of qualified quality. Don't ignore the protective function that should be possessed for the sake of cooling down.

There are thousands of epidemic prevention measures, and wearing a mask is the first one!
