Cause of the cost, you can wash and use a medical mask, wash with slight amount of disinfectant like bleach (very little bleach) but no matter the circumstances don't use more than a week. Your health is more important than money in your bank.

OK noted. Thanks

Thanks for the info. trust Nigerians, they will end up testing the whole face masks and at the end not buying by telling you "ele okere or ele otobi".

True

People need to be mindful. Even if you wan buy from all this road side hawkers, don't be in hurry to wear it, till you finished sterilizing it by washing with disinfectant and soap(possibly using very hot pressing iron on it)

If you buy a contaminated face mask, there is a very high possibility that you will get infected. Would you not touch the face mask with your hands? Afterwards, can you really remember to control how your hand touches your face, your phone or even your clothes ? Remember the virus is highly contagious.

Better to avoid the poorly handled road side face mask altogether except maybe the sealed ones. Better to be safe than be sorry.

That's how I wanted to buy roasted corn one day, one kind street man like that was there pressing all the corn to see which one was soft enough for him. I didn't border imagining where those leprous fingers has touched before he came to the corn stand, I just took my leave. Reason to always buy cooked corn, or just stay there from start yo finish to get your own roasted corn.

You're living in a fools paradise like our insensitive govt.
Do you know the price of mask now? Someone has not work for over a month and he should buy from the pharmacy or Jumia.

Every tailor should sew it. I don't know why people feel they must test it. If it's the disposable one you bought, will you test it b4 paying?
Just take your mask home, wash and dry. The mask is one size fits all.
You are even more stupid to think buying roadside mask is hygienic at this current situation. You know what go and buy it...

Waste of time. You ever been in a car, windows up and you can still smell the smoke, stench from outside?

What about when someone farts through two pieces of clothing.

If corona wants to find you, even if you are in a bank safe. It will find you.

True, its stated as one of rules of using a nose mask. People should check NCDC twitter page, there are PDFs for download on stuffs like this. Even how to sew yours(which is quite easy and most advised).
Also we shouldn't use nose mask with one layer, a minimum of two is OK.




Deep down, we actually know what's right tho

You are absolutely right. Almost bought one clothe mask today while going out. I intended to wear it immediately, what saved me was that the seller didn't have change. I would have bought Corona for 100 naira.

I think we should be very careful about the usage of these locally made face masks because of what I saw today. I was in a bus where a passenger called a facemask seller.

After asking for the price, he took one and put it on. He immediately told the seller that he wanted to make another choice. He finally paid for one after putting on about 5 different types. I noticed it and told the man the implication of what he has just done and he became so sober.

Even other passengers were looking fearful because what I said was true. Now, what if that man has the virus, he has succeeded in affecting those masks without knowing.

These infected masks will be bought by other innocent people. It is also possible that is how these facemask hawkers allow buyers to first put it on before they buy.

There is a high possibility the virus can be spread easily this way. For those of us who patronize these local hawkers, let be careful and vigilant.

I never tested the ones I bought.Secondly, I never put them on until I sterilize them with boil water and soap.

Where i reside, i took a material to a Tailor's shop to help sew facemask..D few minutes i spend there got me thinking.1st theTailor did the sewing without hand gloves or wearing facemask..she triedout the various facemasks while confirming if its firm...imagine how many people would have unknowingly been infected if such a tailor was infected.and again her little child is having a running nose, she left her sewing used her bare hands to clean the baby's nose and took pieces of cloth to wipe her hands..when i corrected her, she started giving attitude..

Mask helps in curtailing the spread of the virus, but we should be careful of Hypoxia (a medical condition characterized by a reduced concentration of Oxygen in the blood).

It is recommended to be used only in public, particularly when people are closely around you. Its important to also remember to lift it every 10mins.

I see some people drive with mask on, and this is very dangerous. The stale air can lead to lose of consciousness, thus putting the lives of those in the car and on road at risk.

I honestly don't understand why he has to test it before buying, did you ask him why he was testing it, or probably that buyer intentionally did that to spread the plague.

Similar thing almost happened to my friend who sells, the buy wanted to change the one he already tested we all gathered around him and told him off. He shamefully bought an additional one. An educated and exotic man at that.
