Kapanlagi.com - The government has been promoting the use of masks to prevent the spread of covid-19 to the entire population. The mask that should be used by the public is a 3-layer fabric mask.

A 3-layer mask means a mask that has 3 layers of fabric, where each fabric has different thickness and density of fabric fibers.

The use of fabric masks is important considering the rapid spread of coronavirus from one person to another without us knowing who is exposed to this virus. Thus, the use of fabric masks is considered an effective measure to prevent the spread of this virus.

Although the use of masks is crucial, you should also remember the importance of washing hands and maintaining cleanliness. In addition, avoid touching your face, especially the eyes, mouth, and nose. And make sure you stay at home if there is no urgent need. Here is a complete explanation about masks, including facts, functions, and how to make them.

1. Facts about 3-Layer Masks

The functionality of cloth masks in preventing the coronavirus has been doubted. Although cloth masks are not ideal, scarcity of masks can be an alternative to not using any protective equipment at all. Here are some facts about 3-layer cloth masks that you need to know:

- Cloth masks can be used by the general public when they have to go out and be in crowded places.

- The 3 layers in the mask will enhance its effectiveness in preventing the virus.

- The making and design of the 3-layer cloth mask can be adjusted to fit the face, and it is important to ensure that hands are clean when using the mask. The mask should cover the nose and chin, and make sure it is not loose.

- People can make their own 3-layer cloth masks by sewing them manually or using a sewing machine.

- It is recommended to regularly change and wash cloth masks with soap. Replace the mask if it becomes wet. Therefore, individuals should have several cloth masks to use alternately.

- According to research, cloth masks can prevent the virus by up to 70%. However, people should still maintain a distance of at least 1 meter from others.

2. Function of 3-layer Masks

The use of masks has now become important as a form of effort to protect oneself from the corona virus pandemic. This is very reasonable, especially when masks are difficult to find. Recently, cloth masks are in high demand because the government has advised the use of 3-layer cloth masks.

Basically, the use of masks can be divided into 3 functions:

- First, the use of 3-layer cloth masks is used by the public to protect themselves from this deadly virus.

- Second, surgical masks are used by patients, healthcare workers, and those who have direct contact with patients.

- Third, the use of N95 masks is emphasized for medical personnel who handle patients. Therefore, it is clear that the use of 3-layer cloth masks is highly necessary.

3. How to Make 3-Layer Masks

In the midst of a surgical mask shortage, the government has urged the public to use cloth masks. Cloth masks are an effective measure used to prevent the transmission of the corona virus. It wouldn't hurt for you to make your own mask at home, with easily obtainable materials, and a quick and simple method. Here is a simple way to make a cloth mask:

Materials needed:

- Fabric (recommended cleaning cloth)

- Elastic bands

- Scissors

- Sewing machine, or hand-sewn (sewing needle + thread)

Instructions:

- The first step in making a cloth mask is to determine the size first. You will make 2 rectangular pieces of fabric, each with the following dimensions: 12cmx6cm and 11cmx5cm.

- After marking the fabric for sizing, the next step is to sew the layers of fabric together and then sew the bottom edge of the fabric.

- The third step is to fold more than one side, and you can start sewing the fabric. Make sure the elastic bands are already inside the fabric fold.

- The fourth step is to pull the elastic band and sew the remaining fold. Do the same on the other side.

- You can repeat your stitches. This is to ensure that the elastic bands do not easily come off.

- After that, you can make a hole at the back of the mask to insert a tissue.

- After that, the mask is ready to be used.
