Hina Khan Demonstrates How To Correctly Wear A Mask To Cope With Coronavirus, Learn How

The whole world is facing a health crisis amid Coronavirus pandemic. From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to top-notch celebrities around the world are doing their bit to spread awareness against the disease. While many like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and PV Sindhu participated in World Health Organisation’s latest #SafeHandChallenge, Hina Khan took slightly a different to the road to educate her fans about something that is equally important as washing hands. Taking to her Instagram the actor posted a video, wherein she can be seen demonstrating the right technique to wear a face mask to stay protected from novel coronavirus.

Clad in a white tee and denim jacket, the actress firstly explained how most people don a mask wrongly. And then showed the right way by placing the metallic belt of the mask in the bridge of the nose and covering the face from the whole fabric.

Well I am not an expert but I had a look at one of the videos released by Professionals.. But I did not share that one and decided to create a video whr I personally am demonstrating same steps and safety measures, so that you all can relate to it and follow the right way on how to wear a basic simple surgical mask.. As a responsible citizen I would also like to convey that this basic mask will not provide you with complete safety from the virus.. while this basic surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large particle droplets but it does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may b transmitted by coughing and sneezing..but sadly majority of the people in our country are using this very basic simple surgical mask..Due to scarcity of masks and lack of awareness people are forced to buy these thin layered disposable masks..This is why I though that I shud atleast help them to wear it the right way.. I wud also like to urge people to opt for N95 respirator masks which seals your nose chin and mouth properly and is a bit more safer thn the basic surgical mask..although it’s not easily available, you may also go for a simple thick layered padded cloth mask, and you can reuse it, if washed properly with antiseptic and warm water, and if properly ironed.. I also agree to the fact that no matter how efficient a respirator is, it wont eliminate the exposure entirely🙏 since this virus progressively crawls through the bronchial tubes and affects our lungs, we have to take precautions by washing hands and wear masks when you step out.

The key is to not let any dirt enter the area covered with the mouth and the nose. She also wrote an informative caption for the video that reads, “Well I am not an expert but I had a look at one of the videos released by Professionals.. But I did not share that one and decided to create a video where I personally am demonstrating the same steps and safety measures so that you all can relate to it and follow the right way on how to wear a basic simple surgical mask.”

As a lot of people are buying simply any mask, such as the air pollution masks, the actress further tried guiding her fans about the right type of mask they should be using. “As a responsible citizen I would also like to convey that this basic mask will not provide you with complete safety from the virus.. while this basic surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets but it does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may b transmitted by coughing and sneezing..but sadly the majority of the people in our country are using this very basic simple surgical mask,” she wrote.

“You may also go for a simple thick layered padded cloth mask, and you can reuse it, if washed properly with antiseptic and warm water, and if properly ironed,” added Hina.
