    Great Video, thank you for the information.
    My only critique is that they used hand sanitizer on their gloves. Using hand sanitizer on contaminated gloves is not proper hand sanitization or proper glove changing.
    Step#1- Dispose of gloves properly.
    Step#2-Wash hands & sanitize.
    Step#3 use a new pair of gloves.

    For those of us who don’t have hair long enough to make a ponytail (or very thick/curly hair), the top strap does not stay high up on the head.

    I'm pretty sure using "hand sanitizer" on your gloves is not considered "good hand hygiene. " A new pair of gloves would have been appropriate.

      @DaimyoD0 3 роки тому +3

      @@segredosdotiosam9989 Oh I can't imagine lashes or eye makeup would affect the mask. I think the recommendation is just to not have face makeup, like foundation, on the part of your face where the mask will sit. Because face makeup might prevent a perfect seal, just like beards do. But unless you're a medical worker wearing a legit N95 mask, the kind with two straps that go over your head, instead of just ear loops, I wouldn't worry about it too much. With ear loop masks, like KN95's and surgical masks, makeup is probably the least of your concerns when it comes to the seal, considering ear loop masks struggle to keep a perfect seal even under ideal conditions.

( Not a medical worker but have high risk family members) I have a small face and I always feel SOME air leaking slightly around one side, even though the mask moves in and out when I breath- would this still block maybe like 80 percent of particles?
