Face masks: 4 hacks to stay comfortable while wearing masks

Amid the rise of Covid-19 cases, face masks are becoming mandatory. Especially  healthcare workers across the country who are dealing with patients are asked to wear face masks and PPE throughout the day. But, there are lot of inconvenience caused due to face masks.

Here are 4 face masks hacks to stay comfortable

1.Sore ears are a common complaint for those who wear face masks for long periods of time. In order to avoid this, you can sew specially-placed buttons onto the surgical caps or any normal caps so that you can fasten the face masks directly onto the buttons instead of your ears

2.It is important to clean and disinfect your glasses. To sanitize your glasses, wash them with warm, soapy water and let them air dry daily. It also helps your glasses from fogging up when wearing a mask as the soap leaves behind a thin film that prevents mist from gathering on the lenses.

3.Another trick to help defog your glasses is to tape the edge of the mask down or adding a tissue underneath to create a tighter seal.

4.In order to give your mask a tight fit Criss-cross the ear loops of your mask as gaps in the mask open up access for germs to travel to and from you.

Uber is developing tech to ensure drivers wear face masks

Uber is developing technology to detect whether its drivers are wearing masks or face coverings before they accept trips.

A spokesperson for the company said, “As countries reopen, Uber is focused on safety and proceeding with caution. Our teams are preparing for the next phase of recovery, where we will all have a role to play. We’ll communicate updates directly to users when ready, but in the meantime, we continue to urge all riders and drivers to wear masks or face coverings when using Uber”.

Also, Uber will require both drivers and passengers to wear masks or face coverings while in vehicles.

Uber has already been supplying masks and disinfectants to drivers, but this new policy might be vital if the company hopes to revitalize its business as governments lift their lockdown restrictions as the cab hailing services have taken a sharp hit due to the lockdown and masks would not only reduce the chances of infection, but increase trust for both sides.
