Masks are a kind of sanitary product, which are generally worn on the mouth and nose to filter the air entering the mouth and nose to block harmful gases, odors, droplets, viruses, and other substances. They are made of gauze or paper.

How to wear a mask correctly?
You usually need to wash your hands before wearing a mask to avoid touching the inner surface of the mask. At this time, it is necessary to distinguish the inside, outside, top, and bottom of the mask. Also, note that the metal strip above the mask should be close to the bridge of the nose. When wearing disposable medical masks, the folds should be unfolded to cover the mouth, nose, and jaw completely. Then press the metal strip to make the mask fit the face completely, and you can wear it now.

 How to use a mask to make an interesting handicraft for children is something that many people have not thought of. I squeeze it in my hand and it feels very decompressed.
