From Monday, the use of masks in closed public spaces, open to the public, is mandatory. Express describes its terms of use.
Made at home, by relatives, bought in a store or pharmacy, or distributed free of charge, a mask to the general public tends to prevail in everyday life. From this Monday, July 20, the use of masks in closed public places is mandatory, under threat of a fine of 135 euros. The goal is to limit the progression of the virus in some regions.

How to configure it?
Before putting on your mask, be sure to wash your hands with soap to prevent staining from the start. The mask is then grabbed by its elastic band or straps and placed over the nose and under the chin,” explains Pierre Parneix, a public health and sanitation doctor at Bordeaux University Hospital. Most masks have a sense of positioning , it is necessary to properly fit the exterior of the mask Some masks have a rigid rim that fits over the bridge of the nose.
once the mask is on, there is no need to touch it. “It is absolutely necessary to avoid placing the mask under the chin or around the neck. If we need to remove this mask, it must be removed and stored in a plastic bag or thrown away,” explains Pierre Parneix. “If I touch only with movements, it is not something serious, but it is necessary to wash your hands,” he adds, pointing out that the mouth and nose are the first mucous membranes through which the virus enters the body.
Afnor instructions on how to put on the mask

The mask was supposed to prevent the projection of droplets on other people who are near you. He “doesn’t care” that this Bordeaux doctor wears a mask while walking down the street alone, except in the case of a national obligation, of course. “If it is a busy street with no possibility of a detour of more than one meter, the mask is useful, but if it is possible to keep your distance, the mask is irrelevant.”

For people who wear glasses, it is preferable to place the glasses on the mask, to avoid the formation of condensation.
How to remove it?
To remove the mask, simply take the elastic and touch only the outer part. The mask should preferably be stored in a plastic bag or a tightly closed container before washing. “If we want to use it again a few minutes later, there is little risk if you wash your hands and take it outside. But it is ideal to put it aside when it is no longer used”, says Pierre Parneix.
How long can I wear this mask?
This indication will vary depending on the manufacturer. In a document sent to mask manufacturers, Afnor gives a value that indicates half a day, that is, about 4 hours. But the key is to remove the mask when it gets too wet. “The mask can lose its water resistance after 4 hours,” explains Pierre Parneix, “but the general public has little chance of having to wear the mask for too long.”
The mask wears out in the wash, so it is necessary to check its condition after several uses. If the cloth appears damaged, replace it.
How to wash the mask?
The mask must be washed after each outing. Afnor has defined the criteria for cleaning masks. Washing a cloth mask for the general public should be done in a washing machine on a cycle of at least 30 minutes at 60 degrees, which will kill all bacteria, Afnor explains. “Drying is done through a dryer or in the open air, before ironing with steam at a temperature that does not damage the fabric,” adds Afnor. “The virus is quite fragile, machine washing at 60 ° is effective”, judge Pierre Parneix, “it can be ironed, but not necessarily, it will not come together”, he adds.
