Life threatening risk of repeatedly wearing same face mask confirmed

13 Sept 12:28 Key points summarised by AI

Repeatedly wearing the same surgical facemask can lead to life-threatening illnesses due to bacterial buildup; these masks are infectious waste and must be properly disposed of.
Cloth masks should be washed daily with soap or detergent and dried in sunlight, while all masks should be changed every 6-8 hours, particularly after exposure to high-risk or crowded environments.
