People going to Nghe An countryside market voluntarily wear masks to prevent Covid-19 epidemic
(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with the complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, many people participating in buying and selling at rural markets in the province voluntarily wear masks and wash their hands with sanitizer to prevent the epidemic.

| For generations, rural markets have been bustling places for rural people to exchange and buy and sell goods. During these epidemic days, rural markets are one of the complicated places, easily spreading diseases if an epidemic occurs. Therefore, people need to be more vigilant.

About 60 - 70% of people present at Cau Market, from security guards, parking attendants to people buying and selling in the market, all wear masks to prevent the epidemic with all kinds of masks (medical, regular, thick, thin...). Photo: Huy Thu |

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tiu (86 years old) in Thanh Luong commune, present at Con market in Thanh Duong commune (Thanh Chuong), said: Through TV, seeing the Covid epidemic break out again, so every time she has to go out, she wears a mask, especially when going to the market - where many people from all over the region flock. To prevent the epidemic, wearing a mask is very important. Although wearing a mask is uncomfortable and cumbersome, it prevents dirt and prevents the epidemic. Photo: Huy Thu |

Currently, because the epidemic situation in the province is under control, at rural markets, people are not required to "have masks to enter the market" like in April, but people still voluntarily wear masks to prevent the epidemic. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Realizing that rural markets are complex places where diseases can easily spread, organizations in some localities have actively promoted and encouraged people to wear masks and wash their hands with sanitizer to prevent the disease.

| However, there are still people who wear masks incorrectly, such as wearing them under the chin, covering the mouth but not the nose, wearing them on one ear... just for the sake of wearing them. Wearing masks incorrectly is not effective in preventing the epidemic. Photo: Huy Thu |

| According to the Ministry of Health's recommendations: Masks are only effective in preventing disease if used properly. Wearing a mask incorrectly not only wastes money, but also reduces its protective effect and increases the risk of disease transmission. Accordingly, people should note: Do not wear the mask upside down. For medical masks, wear the darker side facing out, the lighter side facing in, and the aluminum clip facing up. When wearing, cover both your nose and mouth; Do not touch the surface of the mask with your hands while wearing it; Do not remove the mask when communicating, coughing, or sneezing in public; When removing the mask, only hold the ear straps to remove it; Do not use dirty masks. For medical masks, use them only once and then throw them in a safe, covered trash can. For cloth masks, wash them daily with soap for next use. Photo: Huy Thu |
