Below, we show you which are the types of masks so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs according to the characteristics offered by each one.
- Hygienic masks: This type of mask is a non-medical product. It must be taken into account that they do not protect against the virus or contagion, they simply maintain the hygienic measures. There are reusable and non-reusable. They are recommended for the general healthy population over six years of age.
- Surgical masks: This mask prevents the transmission of agents from the person wearing it to others, but not vice versa. They should always be prepared to fit over the face and should be worn over the mouth, nose and chin. For reasons of comfort and hygiene, it is recommended not to wear the surgical mask for more than 4 h. Recommended for symptomatic or asymptomatic positive persons.
- FFP2 and FFP3 masks: The self-filtering mask not only prevents transmission, but also protects the person wearing it from contracting the virus, as it filters the inhaled air, preventing the entry of any contaminating particles. It is recommended not to be worn for more than 8 hours. The difference between Ffp2 and FFp3 is that the former has a filtration efficiency of 92% while the latter has a filtration efficiency of 98%. Recommended for people in contact with the virus or who are vulnerable to it.
- Homemade cloth masks: It depends on the materials used to make them, but these masks are not subject to regulation and have no official certification, so their efficacy is not proven. It is recommended to preferably use a certified mask that has been tested for its efficacy.
*If it becomes damp or damaged by use, replace it with another one.
Another important point for protection against the virus is the placement of the mask, so when using any type of mask, try to cover your mouth, nose and chin well, taking into account the filter so as not to use it upside down. There are masks for adults and children that vary in size and fit better on the face.
The answer is clear. Yes, face masks help you not to spread the virus and protect you from it. Although it is not the only measure to take, by using them, we help not to spread it and to protect those around us.
1. Make sure your hands are clean. Wash them with soap and water or use hydroalcoholic gel to make sure your hands are completely disinfected.
2. Grasp the mask by the side straps that fit over the ears. Do not touch the filter as you may contaminate it.
3. Place it over the nose, mouth and chin and adjust it without leaving any gaps. Place the rubber bands over the ears.
It is advisable to wear a mask from the age of six.
If I have already been vaccinated, should I continue to wear a mask?
This is a very frequent question among citizens who have already been vaccinated. If you have been vaccinated, you should still wear a mask, especially in enclosed areas or where there is a risk of infection.
It all depends on the manufacturer. Follow the instructions provided. Remember, only masks marked as reusable can be washed.
The most important thing when making a mask is the filter and the materials used to protect you. If these are not suitable, the mask is not suitable for infecting or being infected. Therefore, it is advisable to use a certified mask that guarantees its effectiveness.
This certificate assures you that the product being marketed has passed an evaluation procedure. It does not mean that this product is manufactured in the European Union, but that it is regulated according to European safety regulations and that it has passed an evaluation process.
