- Wash your hands thoroughly before putting on and after taking off your mask.
- For most masks, the coloured side faces out and the pleats point down.
- Check your mask. A properly worn mask should fully cover your mouth, nose, and chin.
- Press and hold the metal nosepiece against both sides of the nose. The mask should fit tightly to your face.
- Avoid touching the outer layer of your mask when taking off your mask; discard the mask in a lidded trash can after use.
