If you don't wear your mask the right way during this pandemic, your risk of spreading and catching COVID-19 increases.
from CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield, everyone is encouraged to wear masks to protect others while in public.
“We often breathe partially or completely through our nose, and you can [become infected] by breathing viral particles,” Russo said. “Likewise, if you’re infected and your mask is down just covering your mouth, if you sneeze ... then you can generate respiratory droplets in that fashion.” If the coronavirus gets on your clothes, face or body, and your loose mask touches those things, that’s a problem, too.
The idea is then you’re preventing it from contaminating other surfaces and you’re not playing around with it as it hangs around your neck.”.When worn properly, N95 respirators that doctors use are closely fitted to the face. But if you are using a surgical mask or a homemade cloth mask, you may be letting the sides gap loosely.
