What should you avoid?
Double masking can feel tight and take a while to get used to. Apart from this, there are also some other measures you must adopt:
-Do not layer two masks of the same kind (don’t use two surgical/ disposable masks over the other)
-Use an N95/K95 mask with another kind. Don’t layer up a cloth mask over one with a filter either.-Don’t use masks if they are visibly soiled or dirty. It would not offer much protection.
Tips: Knot and tunk ear loops of a 3-ply mask. This technique can be used to improve the fit of a surgical mask.
- Step 1. Knot the ear loops of the mask where they join the edge of the mask.
- Step 2. Fold and tuck the unneeded material under the edges
