It is recommended that you wear a mask at all times to prevent the spread of corona19 infectious diseases.






The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) also recommends wearing masks because public transportation use is high and there are relatively many places where people are concentrated.

Originally, the mask was developed with the aim of preventing the respiratory nasal mucus from going out. The latest mask also filters out incoming nasal passages. Therefore, wearing a mask can help prevent respiratory infections. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) also said that wearing a mask is effective when there is a high risk of patient contact.

Also, when using a mask, the principle is to wear a mask in situations where the risk of infection is high. There is a lower risk of spreading the nasal mucus outdoors. Rather, wearing a mask is relatively more necessary because the interior has more close contact and is more likely to be exposed to the nasal mucus.

The mask needs to be worn properly. He also introduced "mouth" that covers only the mouth with a mask, that hangs on the chin, that covers the nose, and which is poorly written, as "how to use bad masks." To wear a mask properly, wash your hands first, adjust the mask on your face, and then hang it on your ear to make it stick. Wearing a mask is a simple rule, but it can lead to a collective infection if it is not followed by a moment's carelessness. In particular, in the winter, influenza is also prevalent, and wearing a mask is the most effective way to prevent infection when there is no coronary vaccine. All experts stress that "the right mask is a vaccine."

The effect of the actual mask has already been proven several times. At Guro Yes Hospital, where the mass infection occurred in June, patient A went from place to place and contacted 56 people during the seven days he was hospitalized. Patients who were confirmed or hospitalized were not able to wear masks, but all medical staff wore masks all the time. As a result, four of the patients were infected, but all 17 medical staff avoided the infection.

The benefits of wearing a mask are not just the prevention of corona19. According to a survey conducted by the NHIC between March and July on changes in people's medical use behavior caused by corona 19, only 8.03 million patients used medical treatment due to respiratory infections such as colds, influenza and pneumonia due to the daily use of masks. The figure is down 51.9 percent from 16.7 million a year earlier. The number of patients who visited medical institutions due to digestive intestinal infections such as bacterial intestinal infections that cause food poisoning also decreased by 31.3 percent from 2.43 million in the same period last year.
