Mind the Gap! Facemask Fit Matters
Subject
Description
This printable flyer infographic "Mind the Gap! Facemask Fit Matters" contains information on mask and masks fit, fitting masks, as maximum mask-to-skin contact is essential.
Mind the Gap:
Mask Filtration and Fit Matter:
Mind the Gap!
No matter how well a mask tests for filtration in a lab, it offers no protection if it does not fit
properly. The purpose of your mask is to filter all the air before it reaches your airway and
lungs, and to filter what you exhale before it can be inhaled by someone else. If your mask
gaps along the sides of your face, the bridge of your nose, or under your chin it won’t provide
the best level of protection.
