How to put on and take off a face mask

Follow these steps for putting on and taking off your mask.

1. Wash or sanitize your hands before putting on your mask.
2. Place your mask over your mouth, nose and chin.
3. Tie it behind your head or use ear loops. Make sure it's tight against your face.
4. Don't touch your mask while wearing it, and if you do, wash or sanitize your hands.
5. Take off the mask by untying it or lifting off the ear loops without touching the front of the mask or your face. Fold the outside corners together. Throw away disposable masks or store your reusable mask to wash later.
6. Wash your hands immediately after taking off your mask.

Throw away disposable masks either after one use or if they get dirty, wet or damaged during use.
