TRIBUNBATAM.id - The Government Spokesperson for Coronavirus Handling, Achmad Yurianto, asked the public to wear masks properly and not to lower it to the chin area. 

According to Yuri, lowering the mask to the chin can actually contaminate the inside of the mask with diseases that might stick to the chin. 

Yuri said if it was forced to remove the mask, such as when going to eat or talk in a forum, the mask should be completely removed and not even lowered to the chin area.

However, the mask removed must still be maintained inside so as not to be contaminated with disease.

"If you really have to take off your mask, then take it off. Don't hook it on your chin, because our droplets or germs outside that might be stuck on the chin will move to the inside of our masks," Yuri said.

He also suggested that people use masks that are comfortable to wear for a long time. 

A comfortable mask said Yuri, which provides enough space between the mask and the nostrils so that it does not interfere with breathing.

"What is uncomfortable is that it will make people unable to last longer using a mask. Therefore, choose a mask that is comfortable," he said.

In addition to using masks properly, Yuri reminded the public to comply with other Covid-19 preventive health protocols such as diligently washing hands using soap and running water and keeping a distance. (*)
