SA citizens urged to wear face masks when leaving home

The National Department of Health recommends that everyone in South Africa should wear a cloth face-mask (also known as a non-medical mask) when in public. Commuters travelling in taxis and other forms of public transport, as well as people spending time in spaces where physical distancing is difficult to practice, are particularly encouraged to wear cloth face-masks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_images_carousel images=”52,53,55″ img_size=”full” speed=”10000″ autoplay=”yes” wrap=”yes”][vc_column_text]Source: Department of Health[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1588010717632{background-color: #e5e5e5 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”” add_button=”right” btn_title=”Order now” btn_color=”danger”]

How to use and care for your face mask

The Department of Health has issued Guidelines on how to properly use and care for your mask.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1588010415742{padding-right: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

  1. Only use a mask that has been washed and ironed.
  2. Wash your hands before putting the mask on.
  3. Place the mask with the correct side facing your face, and ensure that it covers both your nose and mouth properly.
  4. Tie the strings behind your head, or if you are using elastic bands, make sure these are tight.
  5. Make sure it fits well. Move it around to get the best fit. Never touch the cloth part.
  6. Once you have put on the mask, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE again until you take it of.
  7. When you take it off, undo the ties, and carefully fold the mask inside out, hold it by the strings/elastic and place the mask in a container reserved for washing the cloth mask.
  8. Wash your hands thoroughly and dry before doing anything else.
  9. Wash cloth masks with warm soapy water.
  10. You must have at least two cloth masks per person so you will be able to wash one and have a clean one ready for use.
  11. Masks should be washed with soap and hot water and rinsed thoroughly.
