Are you for example sufficiently trained to follow these? Quote:
Protocols in healthcare settings for donning (putting on) and doffing (taking off) masks ensure the wearer does not contaminate the mask with germs. These protocols are impossible in the general public environment. Therefore, the general public are wearing contaminated (dirty) fabric over their airway.
Germs can grow on the mask to a high enough number to become infectious (infectious dose). The mask incubates the germs you deposit from your unclean (dirty) hands every time you adjust it and picks up germs from every unclean (dirty) surface it touches.
The four requirements for bacteria and fungi to grow (incubate and colonize) are:
1. Heat (your body temperature)
2. Moisture (vapour in your breath)
3. Food (skin cells, oil, food particles)
4. UV protection (darkness inside the mask)
