How to put on a face mask
Clean your hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer before
touching the mask.
Remove a mask from the box and make sure there are no obvious tears
or holes in either side of the mask.
Determine which side of the mask is the top. The side of the mask
that has a stiff bendable edge is the top and is meant to mold to
the shape of your nose.
Determine which side of the mask is the front. The colored side of
the mask is usually the front and should face away from you, while
the white side touches your face.
Follow the instructions below for the type of mask you are using.
Face Mask with Ear loops: Hold the mask by the ear loops. Place a
loop around each ear.
Face Mask with Ties: Bring the mask to your nose level and place
the ties over the crown of your head and secure with a bow.
Face Mask with Bands: Hold the mask in your hand with the nosepiece
or top of the mask at fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang
freely below hands. Bring the mask to your nose level and pull the
top strap over your head so that it rests over the crown of your
head. Pull the bottom strap over your head so that it rests at the
nape of your neck.
Mold or pinch the stiff edge to the shape of your nose.
If using a face mask with ties: Then take the bottom ties, one in
each hand, and secure with a bow at the nape of your neck.
Pull the bottom of the mask over your mouth and chin.
