😷 Masks

Wearing a mask is one of the easiest ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 😷 Not all masks are created equal, however. The two most popular types of masks are surgical masks and N95 masks.

💡 Tip: N95 masks are recommended for healthcare workers, as they provide a higher level of protection. Surgical masks are suitable for everyday use and are more comfortable to wear for long periods.

🧤 Gloves

Gloves can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by limiting the spread of germs from your hands. 🦠 However, gloves are not a substitute for washing your hands regularly. It is important to note that gloves should be used once and then disposed of properly.

💡 Tip: If you plan on wearing gloves, make sure to keep your hands clean and don’t touch your face while wearing them.

👓 Face Shields

Face shields provide added protection to your eyes and face. They can be used in conjunction with a mask for ultimate protection against COVID-19. 🦠 Face shields are see-through, which allows for natural facial expressions and better communication.

💡 Tip: Make sure to clean and sanitize your face shield regularly to keep it germ-free.

🧼 Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is a convenient way to keep your hands clean when you don’t have access to soap and water. 🧼 Make sure to use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to effectively kill germs.

💡 Tip: While hand sanitizer is great in a pinch, washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is the most effective way to remove germs from your hands.

🧹 Disinfectant Wipes

Disinfectant wipes are great for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces. 🧹 Make sure to read the label and follow the instructions carefully to ensure that you’re using the wipes correctly.

💡 Tip: It’s a good idea to keep a pack of disinfectant wipes with you when you’re out and about for quick and easy cleaning on the go.

🧴 Hand Lotion

Washing and sanitizing your hands regularly can dry out your skin. 🌵 It’s a good idea to keep a bottle of hand lotion with you to help moisturize and protect your skin.

💡 Tip: Look for hand lotion with ingredients like aloe vera or shea butter for added moisture.
