Face Masks and its proper use during COVID-19 Pandemic,

Some people who have COVID-19 may experience mild symptoms or none at all, and they can spread the virus to others before they realize they have it. They may think they have allergies, a cold or the flu. - It’s initially hard to tell the difference between COVID-19 and the flu without a test. Face masks help prevent the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Coronavirus is silent spreading within our communities during events that we attend without wearing face masks risking ou. During these events we speak to each other, shake hands, share utensils, hug each other, sing, cough or even sneeze – that is why face masks are now required or recommended in most indoor public places.

Also a face mask can also prevent germs from others to get into your nose and mouth.
