Q: How do I wear my mask safely?

A: There are several important things to remember about wearing your social distancing mask:

·         Wash or sanitize your hands before and after putting the mask on and taking it off. Click here for a video from Ohio Health on the importance of washing your hands and being mindful of touching your mask.

·        Do not touch your face. If you have to adjust the mask, sanitize your hands again.

·        Store the mask in between uses. Try to keep the front of the mask always facing the front of the bag.

·         The mask is not a substitute for continuing to distance as much as possible, or for staying home if you develop symptoms.

Why?

Res ipsa loquitur:

The term comes from Latin and is literally translated "the thing itself speaks", but the sense is well conveyed in the more common translation, "the thing speaks for itself".^[1] The earliest known use of the phrase was by Cicero in his defence speech Pro Milone. The circumstances of the genesis of the phrase and application by Cicero in Roman legal trials has led to questions whether it reflects on the quality of res ipsa loquitur as a legal doctrine subsequent to 52 BC, some 1915 years before the English case Byrne v Boadle and the question whether Charles Edward Pollock might have taken direct inspiration from Cicero's application of the maxim in writing his judgment in that case.
