Top Eco-Friendly Face Masks For Kids And Adults In Jakarta

With Covid-19 still looming around, everyone needs to stay vigilant to stop the spread of the virus. Despite the vaccine being available in Indonesia, experts say that it is still necessary to wear a face mask whenever you go out of the house or interact with someone from outside of your household. However, disposable medical mask usage has impacted the environment badly especially in places where the garbage disposal system is not very advanced.

So who should wear the one-time use surgical masks? According to WHO, everyone should wear good-quality fabric masks (3 layers of different fabric) unless you are:

1. A healthcare provider,
2. Showing light symptoms,
3. Waiting for your test result or is confirmed positive for Covid-19,
4. Taking care of someone who might have Covid-19,
5. Above 60 years of age,
6. Or has an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, auto-immune disease, cancer, chronic respiratory illness, and obesity.

Aside from being more environmentally friendly, fabric masks can also be made to fit your face better. With so many designs and fabric types you can choose from, even kids are more willing to wear the uncomfortable new-normal attire. Opt for a tie-around-the-head mask to reduce ear discomfort.
