2. They should be considered only as a 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗬 measure, not as a replacement for #PhysicalDistancing, cough and sneeze etiquette, #HandHygiene & avoiding touching of one's face. Image
3. 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥! Proper use of any mask (including the home-made ones) is 𝗩𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟, as failing to put it on or off safely may lead to an increase of probability of getting infected with #SARSCoV2! Image
