Practical Tip

A face mask offers protection in 2 ways: it protects other people by preventing any droplets from you and it protects you from other people who are not wearing face masks and project their droplets onto you.

If you do not have access to a regular supply of face masks and wish to reuse your single use face mask, please ensure that you do not come into contact with people not wearing face masks.
