5. Masks That Protect From Infections

If you frequent crowded places or are coughing or sneezing, make sure you wear a mask. If your mask has a metal strip, adjust it on the bridge of your nose firmly and pull the strings on the mask behind your ears. Make sure the mask covers your nose, mouth and chin. Also, ensure that you touch only the strings while putting on and removing the mask.
