The benefits of wearing Reusable Cloth Face Masks
Yes, if you live in Australia and are in a region that has reported cases of Coronavirus then you should absolutely wear a reusable cloth face masks or a disposable mask. Governments all over the world have asked their citizens to protect themselves, their families and their fellow citizens by wearing face masks while outside their home and anywhere in public. Medical advice has shown that masks can help prevent the spread of #COVID-19 while in public. Good reusable cloth face masks or disposable mask protects you from those who may be carrying COVID-19 while protecting others if you unknowingly have contracted the virus and hence may be endangering others. In Melbourne, Victoria PPE disposable or reusable cloth face masks are now mandatory and on the spot fines of $200 are being issued for anyone caught not wearing a face mask in public.
In Australia the Health Department is now recommending the wearing of reusable cloth face masks or disposable face masks where community transmission of COVID-19 is occurring and or social distancing is challenging. Many experts are recommending the use of reusable cloth masks and they should fit snugly on your face while covering your nose and mouth and ideally your chin so there is a seal. A good cloth mask is secured to your face using elastic loops which fit either around the back of your ears or the back of your head to ensure the mask is firmly covering and protecting your face. A reusable cloth face mask should ideally be 3-layered and be either machine or hand washed each day to ensure any bacteria is destroyed. Most cloth masks can also be put in the dryer, ensuring further destruction of any bacteria that may have come into contact with your cloth mask. Should you choose to wear disposable masks, then they must be suitably disposed of on a daily basis and due to current demand these masks can retail at $1+ each.
