Wearing your mask wrong
We all know that masks can become unpleasant and uncomfortable, especially after wearing time for long periods of time. But, come on, how hard can it be to wear them right whenever you are outside your home? No pulling it to one side, putting it beneath the nose or resting it on the chin and definitely not turning into an earring. If you’re not wearing it properly, to cover your mouth and your nose, then, in addition to being rude, it’s completely pointless in terms of virus transmission. You might think you are not sick “but you don’t know if you are carrying germs that can be passed to someone who is immunocompromised or someone who shares a household with someone who is immunocompromised,” says Tsai.
Apart from jeopardizing other people’s health, you might also jeopardize your chances of getting inside a store for not wearing your mask properly. Stores are privately-owned businesses and can deny you access inside or kick you out faster than you could say “coronavirus”.
