How to dispose your surgical masks?
“Anything can go wrong even if everything is planned”, said Corona.
Yes, It’s nearly a year and we are still dealing with our new guest Covid brother and the sad part is that nobody on earth knows how long he is gonna stay with us. Let it be, but there’s a high-level probability that we could tell him “Bye Bye” if we eventually wear a mask all day outside the house as we all know, and the unknown part is that “How do we dispose of the surgical masks that we use every single day? Let’s have a look, stay with me.
Answering your question, a surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. These are often referred to as face masks, although not all face masks are regulated as surgical masks (Image has been added for your reference).
