Mask deficiency came to the fore when the first outbreak of corona virus occurred. Ordinary people then sit at home and start making this mask with cloth. The World Health Organization recommends that cloth masks be worn by those who do not have the Covid-19 symptom. Clothing masks may be worn in busy areas such as public transport, the workplace, grocery stores, and other crowded environments. Take a good look. It is often seen that after wearing the mask, there are gaps on both sides of the face. It cannot be allowed to happen in any way. After wearing the mask, the face, nose and chin must be completely covered.

Earlier, Hu had emphasized on three-layer masks when using cloth masks. That said, masks bought from the store or made at home can be worn. However, since the ability to resist infection depends on the fabric of the mask, different types of clothing should be given in three layers. The part of the mask that will be on the inside, it is better to use a cotton cloth. This is because it can absorb the droplets from the mouth quickly.

Health professionals, on the other hand, who have corona symptoms, who care for patients with corona, should wear a surgical mask in areas where the virus is widespread and it is difficult to maintain a social distance of at least one meter. The World Health Organization recommends that those who are 80 years of age or older wear a surgical mask. In the case of surgical masks, it should be removed once worn.
