How to wear your mask:
If possible, wash or sanitize your hands immediately before and after putting your mask on and immediately before and after taking it off when planning to reuse it.
Place the mask over your face, with the bottom below your chin and the nosepiece up.
Adjust straps, with the tops strap behind your head and the lower strap below your ears. Do not cross the straps.
Adjust the metal nose clip using fingers from both hands to mold the metal to the shape of your nose
Adjust fit as necessary to reduce air flow around the mask
If you wear glasses and find fogging to be a nuisance, wash the lenses with soapy water and shake off the excess before putting on your mask (wipe off nose piece to minimize skin irritation).
