I'm a Microbiologist, I use and discard masks in the lab and never for once have I used one mask for 2days, I have never used my handkerchief or any other piece of cloth other than a medical face mask.

Please Nigerians do not use any mask apart from medical masks, all those fashionable masks that are put there, this is not a fashion parade.

Think of this, so many people have died of this disease, so many doctors, nurses, have u heard of laboratory scientists dieing? But they are the once carrying and working on the sample.

Lab Scientist don't neglect safety rules as much as other health professionals. Take it from one who is experienced in lab tech, don't use any mask that is not medical and change ur mask regularly.

Remember that Corona Virus is not the only virus that is deadly, there are bacteria, Fungi, other viruses that could live on ur mask and cause harm to you.

Secondly, masks should be worn in public places, I see people wearing in their cars, it is unnecessary, keep ur masks clean always. You see the way facial wipes are stored and kept clean, so also u should keep ur mask in a clean environment always.

Thanks and stay safe.

And again, government need to ban all these Tailors from producing face masks and authorise some tailors to be doing so.
The one i bought this morning is made with a very dirty clothe.

IjawAboki007:
I think we should be very careful about the usage of these locally made face masks because of what I saw today. I was in a bus where a passenger called a facemask seller.

After asking for the price, he took one and put it on. He immediately told the seller that he wanted to make another choice. He finally paid for one after putting on about 5 different types. I noticed it and told the man the implication of what he has just done and he became so sober.

Even other passengers were looking fearful because what I said was true. Now, what if that man has the virus, he has succeeded in affecting those masks without knowing.

These infected masks will be bought by other innocent people. It is also possible that is how these facemask hawkers allow buyers to first put it on before they buy.

There is a high possibility the virus can be spread easily this way. For those of us who patronize these local hawkers, let be careful and vigilant.

Angelfrost:
Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't buy a protective and sensitive device like face mask from a roadside hawker, except it is properly sealed!!!

This is what happens when leaders and citizens try to cut corners.

You can't effectively lock down because you lack the resources to provide palliatives, and you are also clearly unequipped to discontinue lock down cos you can't provide or subsidize simple protective gear like face masks...

What a Nation!!!

Why would a sane person buy face mask on the roadside?

This is exactly how you selfish, money-conscious Nigerians think.
You don't think about the quality, efficacy and safety of what you're producing for the people; it's all about the profits you'll make from it.
Do you think masks produced by well-guided, government approved, tailors would be the same as those produced by medically-ignorant roadside tailors?
Do those roadside tailors know that a mask should have 3layers, with the middle one being a filter, usually made from a different material with smaller pores?
Do they even know there's something called a 'filter' in a mask??

And if you check very well, that man went to school o. The appropriate thing to do is buy, wash, dry and iron. Same process should be repeated daily. It's also advisable to have at least 2 or 3 especially for those who have to go out everyday.

I honestly believe you didn't read what I said ways you contact the virus is through mouth nose including eye and ear so if you only covers your nose and mouth what about your ears and nose please read before commenting

That's the frustration and anger that have been making you and your likes trying to make money at all costs without putting quality and safety into consideration.
At the end, you kill more people than the same government you hate.
I have seen lots of Ampiclox capsules you and your criminal friends filled with dried/powdered MILK, and sell to innocent, unsuspecting Nigerians as the original drug.
Most of the drugs in the Nigerian markets are fake, courtesy of you and your make-money-quick kind of friends.
Here abroad, when you take ordinary Paracetamol, your whole body will confirm it, because it's original, but it's a different case in Nigeria.
To you, it's all about the money; life doesn't matter.
But no wahala, the spirits of those you've killed will take their revenge on you and all your criminal co-workers sooner than later.
