One of the most confusing pieces of advice lately has been around mask-wearing.
Does it work? Should mask-wearing be mandatory? Can it save you from COVID-19 infection?
According to my professional perspective, here is what you really need to know about wearing a face mask today (and why the truth might surprise you).
The best basic measure is still to keep up with regular, thorough hand-washing with warm water and soap.
But there is one important step most people ignore, and this can go a long way toward keeping your body safe. Wearing a face mask is the best available way to avoid getting infected by this global pandemic. WHO and many health organizations around the world are locked in a race to discover a vaccine that can cure coronavirus infection, but it will take months before we can discover a reliable cure. Before that, we can only take precautionary measures to protect ourselves from coronavirus infection.
Face masks come in a wide range of designs, colors, and styles. You can opt for a customized face mask but make sure to use the best quality material that can truly protect you from infection. Because a good-looking mask can help you create an impression in the public but if it cannot protect you from infection, you will be only wasting your money and time.
Until we find a cure to this pandemic, we need to rely on these basic recommendations to stay protected.
MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PUBLIC
• Stay at home in your "safe zone".
• Avoid public transportation. Walk, use your car.
• Avoid closed spaces with A/C.
• Avoid contact with people without face masks.
• Sanitize hands after touching anything outside of safe zone.
• Things You Should be Aware of:
• People without face masks are a risk for you and for your close ones.
• Droplets can spread up to 7 meters.
• Expect that everything outside of safe zone is contaminated. Don't touch your eyes.
• On metals and plastics, the virus can persist for days. Disinfect your cell phone.
• You can create your own disinfection, ideally 60%-70% alcohol.

It's time to take more care of yourself and your family.
