How to wear N95 respirator masks correctly?

 

1.  Position the respirator on your face (make sure your mouth and nose are covered).

2.  Pull the top strap over your head.

3.  Pull the botton strap over your head and position it around your neck, adjust to get a comfortable position.

4.  Mold the metal nosepiece by pushing it to fit your nose

5.  Check and feel whether the air you breath in is THROUGH the mask - but NOT from the spaces around the mask.

 

*  The masks/respirators can only LOWER the risk.  Personal hygiene & Resting are crucial too.  (even for the N95 respirator)

*  BOTH straps should be used!
