How To Reuse Disposable Masks Correctly?

Can disposable masks be disinfected with medical alcohol spray and reused after they are used up? Ordinary residents use disposable masks in places where the risk is relatively small to ensure that the masks are clean and structurally complete, especially the inner layer is not contaminated. Under the circumstances, it can be reused. After each use, it should be placed in a relatively clean, dry and ventilated place in the room. In addition, spraying disinfectants, including medical alcohol, will reduce the protection efficiency, so it is not advisable to use alcohol spraying to disinfect masks.

Speaking of the repeated use of masks, I want to specifically emphasize that it should be divided into specific situations. If you are alone, such as at home without contact with outsiders, you don’t need to wear a mask, including in a private car, or alone outdoors or in the community. You don’t need to wear a mask when you walk around and walk in a sparsely-pedestrian park.

But in crowded public places, patients who take transportation, including shopping malls, take elevators, including meeting rooms, and go to general medical institutions (except fever clinics), can wear ordinary medical masks, which are what we call disposable medical masks.
