3. Ensure that the mask is fitted securely against your cheek
- Ensure that both sides of the face mask are fitted firmly against your cheek

- Ensure the bottom of the mask covers your chin entirely

- Make sure the wired edge presses tightly on your nose bridge (so that water vapor will not be emitted from the top edge)

4. Do not touch the outer layer of the mask
- Do not touch the outer later of the mask as it is contaminated after use

- Wash your hands thoroughly if you have touched the outer layer of the mask

- When disposing of the mask, it is not necessary to fold it or roll it up
