Holidays are more fun, epidemic prevention is not slippery

Looking forward, looking forward, the 11th holiday is finally here! Holidays are more joyful, and epidemic prevention is not slippery! Everyone is the primary responsible person for their own health, take personal protection, protect yourself and others!

Common types of masks on the market

With the National Day approaching, the situation of epidemic prevention and control is still severe and complicated. There are new epidemics in many places in China. The string of epidemic prevention and control must not be relaxed at all! One of the most effective ways to prevent and control the new coronavirus is to wear a mask. Masks can not only prevent patients from spraying droplets, reduce the amount and speed of droplets, but also block virus-containing droplet nuclei and prevent the wearer from inhaling.

Friends, you must wear them correctly and handle them correctly! Come and check, are you wearing the right mask?

Don't relax during the holidays, and standardize the wearing of masks

The common types of masks on the market mainly include: sun protection and warmth, decorative, medical and industrial. Among them, sunscreen and warm masks and decorative masks cannot protect against viruses and are not recommended to be worn during the epidemic prevention and control period. N95 masks, medical surgical masks, and disposable medical masks that meet national standards all have protective functions and meet the requirements of epidemic prevention.

Medical N95 masks have a hydrophobic layer on the basis of the blocking ability of particles, which can prevent liquid splashing, especially when doctors perform intubation and other operations, it can play a more effective protective role. N95 series masks (N99, 95, 90) have strong protective ability, but the air permeability is relatively poor, and they are prone to hypoxia after long-term use. They are suitable for healthy people with high epidemic prevention requirements.

Medical surgical masks also have a filter layer and a hydrophobic layer, and the hydrophobic layer can effectively prevent infection from liquid or droplet splashing. However, for the protective filtering ability of particles, the protective ability of medical surgical masks is slightly worse than that of medical N95 masks. For the general population in low-risk areas, the use of medical surgical masks can basically meet the protection needs.

Disposable medical masks are generally made of non-woven fabrics, which can block secretions from the nasal cavity and oral cavity, and their protective ability is weaker than that of medical surgical masks.

Due to the characteristics of children's skin, respiratory tract and skull structure, there are special masks for children. Please choose a standard-compliant children's mask when purchasing.

Why can masks prevent infection?

Don't look at a small mask, but it can play a big protective role. Masks are composed of non-woven fabrics and melt-blown fabrics. These special materials can not only prevent harmful substances from entering the respiratory tract, but also prevent the droplets from running into the air when you sneeze, cough, and speak. Studies have shown that as long as both parties wear masks and are separated by more than 1 meter, the probability of infection is almost zero.

How to identify mask standards

If it is difficult to choose and distinguish when purchasing, you can look at the code printed on the mask packaging. The five standard codes of masks that meet the epidemic prevention requirements are:

Medical protective mask【GB19083-2010】

Medical Surgical Mask【YY0469-2011】

Disposable medical masks【YY/T 0969-2013】

Daily protective masks [GB/T 32610-2016]

Children's masks【GB/T 38880-2020】

After choosing the right mask, you should also pay attention to wearing it properly.

How to wear and store masks correctly

Wear it correctly:

1. The mask should cover the mouth, nose and chin, and the nose clip should be compacted;

2. The cumulative wearing time of each mask should not exceed 8 hours, and repeated use is not recommended;

3. It is not recommended to use cotton gauze, sponge, activated carbon masks or masks with breathing valves; patients with basic respiratory diseases should use protective masks under the guidance of doctors;

4. Infants and young children under the age of 3 should not wear masks, which can easily cause suffocation. Parents should try to avoid taking their children to crowded public places.

Store correctly:

1. The masks that need to be reused should be hung in a clean, dry and ventilated place when not in use

2. If you experience discomfort such as suffocation and shortness of breath during use, immediately go to an open and ventilated place to remove the mask

3. Discarded masks are classified as other garbage for disposal

4. Carry spare masks when going out and store them in a clean sealed bag to avoid extrusion and deformation
