A new dimension to the transmission of the COVID-19 virus has been revealed as the Doctor in charge of Ajibulu Sample Collection Centre, Oshodi, Lagos, Dr. Baqiah Nojimudeen-Yesufu disclosed that abuse of gloves and carefree usage of face masks may increase the risk of contracting the dreaded coronavirus.
“Since the lockdown ease commenced, people have been complying with the use of face masks and I can say the compliance is about 70 per cent. However, we should be careful about self-contamination because sometimes we wear the mask and use it wrongly. Even if you have washed it, you still have to be careful not to touch the outer part and the inner part where your nose and your mouth stay because you can self-contaminate yourself.
She stated that face mask is best used when in the company of more than one person and to be complemented with social distancing, warning that the best way to limit the risk of contamination is to stay indoors and avoid social engagement.
