How to properly store a face mask

If you still need a face mask, there are still some available at Rochester Fire Stations, the Rochester Public Library, and Intercultural Mutual Assistance Association,

Thank you.

New on daybreak new on daybreak ?

"* since we're now required to wear a mask in indoor public spaces, kimt news 3's madelyne watkins is looking into what you ?

"(should and ?

"(shouldn't do with them.

Especially since we're wearing them way more often.

She joins us live with those suggestions, madelyne?

I brooke and tyler.

I think most of us are guilty of taking your mask off in the car after leaving a store and just leaving it in here.

I know i am!

But that's not the right thing to do.

Here's three things you need to know from the c?

"*d?

"*c to properl care for your mask when you're not wearing it.

One: wash your hands or use hand sanitzer before you put it on and after you take it off.

Two: it's illegal to hang your face mask on your rear view mirror in your car because it creates a blind spot.

And that brings me to point three: don't just leave a face mask in your car.

In fact... cloth face masks need to be washed after every use and disposable ones should be thrown out.

I talked to one woman in rochester who uses her own technique to avoid spreading "when i take it off, i fold the clean sides together so the dirty side stays to the outside.

So when i put it on, it's clean to my face.

Probably every other day i wash it.

I don't wear it at home, i just wear it when i come out."

Children under the age of 2 should not be wearing a face mask and those between the ages of 2 and 5 are not required to, but it is highly encouraged by the minnesota department of health.

Live in rochester.
