How to use and sanitize our masks

Entre Amis takes the field against Coronavirus. The masks packaged by Entre Amis act as virus protection and serve to create a barrier that prevents biological fluids from penetrating through the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth. They protect against coronavirus transmission, both by blocking droplets of respiratory secretions and put on by sick people wearing them, and by preventing the same droplets or splashes of secretions or other biological fluids from reaching the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth of uninfected people.

WHEN AND HOW TO WEAR THE MASK

When. In all cases of contact with the outside world, always respecting the distance of at least 1 meter between people. Virologists recommend the use of the protective mask by the entire population as more and more emphasis is being placed on the contagiousness of incubating and asymptomatic individuals as the weeks go by, and therefore their use may protect third persons.

How. Before wearing it, wash your hands thoroughly. Check the correct orientation of the mask and put it on so that it covers the mouth and nose well and ensures a snug fit to minimize gaps between the face and the mask. To dispose of it place it in a tightly closed plastic bag in the undifferentiated collection.

HOW TO WASH OUR MASKS

You can wash the washable masks in water and Amuchina or in the washing machine at 90°. They should not be ironed under any circumstances, so as not to damage the fabric.
If they are used for work, so they are worn for 8 consecutive hours or more, we recommend disinfecting them every night. If they are, however, used only for short periods of time, such as on the way to the grocery store, they can be used 3-4 times before washing.
