Abantwana kunye neeMask: Kufuneka uzazi ezi zinto ngexesha le (COVID-19)!

Uyakhumbula ukuba ubhubhane (we-COVID-19) wafika nini? Phantse wonke umntu waphuma enxibe iimaski. Kwakufana yinxalenye yobomi bethu, akunjalo? Ezi mask zasinceda ukuba singagcini nje ngokuphepha (i-COVID-19), kodwa nezinye izifo ezininzi zokuphefumla ezifana nomkhuhlane, umkhuhlane, kunye (i-RSV). Ngoko ke, namhlanje siza kuthetha ngezinto ezithile ekufuneka uzazi ngaba bantwana kunye nokusetyenziswa kweemaski.

Imaski ingasinceda njani?

Kulungile, ngoku masibone indlela esikhusela ngayo esi sigqubuthelo semaski. Ngamafutshane , xa sithetha, siphefumla, sihleka, sikhwehlela, kwaye sithimla, amathontsi amancinci amanzi aphuma emilonyeni nasezimpumlweni zethu. La mathontsi anokuba nentsholongwane ebangela esi sifo. Ngoko ke, ukuba unemaski efakwe kakuhle, la mathontsi aneentsholongwane ayathintelwa ukukhutshwa. Oko kuthetha ukuba awunakufane usasaze esi sifo komnye umntu.

Ayipheleli apho, kodwa ukunxiba imaski kunciphisa umngcipheko wakho wokugula. Kuba kuthintela amathontsi eentsholongwane avela kwabanye abantu ukuba angangeni empumlweni nasemlonyeni wakho. Enye into kukuba sihlala sichukumisa ubuso bethu, imilomo, neempumlo zethu. Ukuba sineentsholongwane ezandleni zethu, sinokugula. Xa unxiba imaski, uchukumisa nobuso bakho kancinci. Kwakhona yindlela yokuzikhusela. Kulula kakhulu, akunjalo?

Ngubani ofanele anxibe imaski kwaye nini?

Ngoku kumazwe amaninzi, umzekelo eMelika, akunyanzelekanga ukuba abantu abaphilileyo, abo bangakhange bachaphazeleke yi-COVID-19, banxibe iimaski kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke. Nangona kunjalo, oko akuthethi ukuba ukubaluleka kweemaski kuye kwehla. Kusekho iimeko apho ukunxiba iimaski kuyinto ebalulekileyo yokuziphatha.

Khawucinge nje, ukuba umntu une-COVID-19, okanye ebekunye nomntu one-COVID-19, ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka anxibe imaski ukuthintela ukusasaza esi sifo kwabanye. Yilo ke uxanduva lwethu.

Ngaphandle koko, kububulumko ukunxiba imaski kwezi meko, ingakumbi xa ungaphandle kwekhaya nakwiindawo ezixineneyo:

• Ukuba inani lezigulana ze-COVID-19 kwindawo ohlala kuyo liphezulu , okanye ukuba inani labantu abalaliswe esibhedlele liphezulu.
• Ukuba inkqubo yakho yomzimba yokuzikhusela ibuthathaka (oko kuthetha ukuba amandla omzimba wakho okulwa nesifo ayancipha) okanye unesifo esinganyangekiyo.
• Ukuba unomntu ekhayeni lakho onenkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela ebuthathaka (umzekelo, umntu omdala, umntu onezinye izifo, usana oluncinci), kunokuba nzima ngakumbi kuye ukuba ufumana i-COVID-19.
• Ukuba uhamba imigama emide , njengokusebenzisa ibhasi okanye uloliwe, umngcipheko uphezulu kuba abantu abavela kwimimandla eyahlukeneyo bahlanganisana. Kwakhona, imaski ibalulekile kuba uya kuba kwiindawo ezixineneyo apho umoya ungangeni kakuhle khona.

Icebiso lokunxiba ezi masks linokutshintsha ngamaxesha athile, kuxhomekeke ekusasazekeni kwe-COVID-19 kwindawo nganye. Ngoko ke, kulungile ukuba ulumke nakwelo candelo.

Ngubani ongafanelanga ukunxiba imaski?

Le yinto elula kakhulu. Ayisiyongcinga ilungileyo ukubeka imaski kumntwana ongaphantsi kweminyaka emibini ubudala . Inokubangela ubunzima ekuphefumleni. Kwakhona, ukuba umntu akakwazi ukuyisusa ngokwakhe imaski,(Umzekelo, abantu abadala abakhubazekileyo, abantwana abaneemfuno ezizodwa), akukhuthazwa ukuba banxibe iimaski.

Ngoku abanye abazali bayazibuza, 'Ngaba kuya kuba nzima ukuba umntwana wethu aphefumle ukuba sifaka imaski? Ngaba oku kuya kuyichaphazela indlela afunda ngayo nophuhliso lwakhe?' Musa ukukhathazeka. Kukho uphando oluninzi malunga noku. Phantse lonke lufumanise ukuba kukhuselekile ngokupheleleyo kubantwana abangaphezu kweminyaka emibini ukunxiba imaski, nokuba banezinye iingxaki zempilo.

Le mask ayinciphisi ubuninzi beoksijini efakwa emiphungeni yomntwana. Kwakhona, ngoku kuye kwacaca ukuba le mask ayilimazi ukufunda okanye ukukhula komntwana. Ngoko ke ungakhathazeki ngayo, kulungile?

Zeziphi iintlobo zeemaski ezilungileyo zeentsana?

Kufuneka silumke kancinci xa sikhetha imaski yabantwana. Ayizizo zonke iimaski ezifanayo. Ukuze ufumane iziphumo ezilungileyo, imaski mayibukeke ngolu hlobo:

• Ifanele ibe ngumqobo olungileyo kwiintsholongwane: Imaski kufuneka ibe neeleya ezininzi. Ezo maski zinemibhobho yomoya azilungile, kuba zinokukhupha iintsholongwane. Iimaski zelaphu ziye zathandwa kakhulu. Zingcono kunokuba zingenanto. Nangona kunjalo, azibonakali zivimba iintsholongwane kunye neemaski zotyando, oko kukuthi, iimaski ezilahlwayo esizisebenzisayo thina oogqirha, esizisebenzisa kube kanye size sizilahle. Ezona zilungileyo ekuthinteleni iintsholongwane zibizwa ngokuba yi-'Respirators'. Ezi zivavanyiwe ngokufanelekileyo kwaye ziqinisekisiwe ukuba ziyahlangabezana nemigangatho ephezulu yokuhluza. Ungazifumana ezi ngamagama anje `(KN95)` okanye `(KF94)`. Ezi zinokuba zibiza kancinci, kodwa zikhusela ngakumbi.

• Ifanele ilingane kakuhle: Imaski mayigqume impumlo nomlomo kakuhle. Akufuneki kubekho zikhewu macala omabini. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukufumana ubungakanani obufanele abantwana kwaye bufanele ubuso babo. Ukunxiba imaski enkulu kakhulu akuyi kubakhusela ngokwaneleyo.

• Ikhululekile: Oku kubaluleke kakhulu, ingakumbi kubantwana abancinci. Ukuba bafuna ukuyinxiba, kufuneka ikhululeke. Abayi kufuna ukunxiba imaski erhawuzelelayo okanye ebuhlungu. Ukuba ukufumanisa kunzima ukuyifaka "i-respirator", zama imaski yotyando. Okanye ungabeka imaski yelaphu phezu kwemaski yotyando ukuze ukhuseleke ngakumbi. Khumbula, nayiphi na imaski umntwana wakho anokuyinxiba kakuhle ingcono kunokungabi nayo kwaphela imaski.

Ukuba usebenzisa iimaski zelaphu, zihlambe kakuhle ngesepha namanzi rhoqo . Iimaski ezilahlwayo mazisetyenziswe kanye uze uzilahle. Iimaski zokuphefumla zihlala zisetyenziswa izihlandlo ezininzi, zide zibe zingcolile okanye zingasalungelani kakuhle. Zigcine kwingxowa yephepha xa zingasetyenziswa. Musa ukuzigcina kwingxowa yeplastiki, kuba oku kunokubangela ukubamba umswakama.

Ungenza njani ukuba abantwana baqhele ukunxiba iimaski?

Ukwenza abantwana bethu banxibe iimaski ngamanye amaxesha kunokuba ngumceli mngeni. Yiyo loo nto. Kodwa nazi iingcebiso ezimbalwa ezinokukunceda:

• Bafundise indlela yokunxiba nokukhulula imaski ngokufanelekileyo: Bakhumbuze ngobunono ukuba impumlo nomlomo wabo kufuneka zigqunywe yimaski ngamaxesha onke. Xa uphatha imaski, baxelele ukuba bachukumise kuphela ii-loops zendlebe okanye ii-ties. Oku kuya kubathintela ekuchukumiseni umphambili wemaski, elicala apho iintsholongwane zinokungena khona kuyo.
• Yiba ngumzekelo: Ukuba unxiba imaski ngokuchanekileyo, umntwana wakho unamathuba amaninzi okukuxelisa.
• Yenza kube mnandi, wenze into ekhethekileyo kubo: Kule mihla, kukho iimaski ezimibalabala nezinomtsalane ezifumanekayo evenkileni. Fumana iimaski ezinabalinganiswa babo abazithandayo bekhathuni, amaqhawe eemuvi, ubuso obuhlekisayo, kunye nezilwanyana. Ngaleyo ndlela, xa bethanda into ethile, kulula kubo ukwenza ukunxiba imaski kube yinxalenye yesiqhelo yemihla ngemihla yabo. Khawuthelekelele, ukuba uthengele intombi yakho imaski enenkosazana yakhe ayithandayo kuyo, ibiya kuvuya kangakanani ukuyinxiba? Okanye mhlawumbi unyana wakho uneqhawe ayithandayo kuyo?
• Yiba nomonde: Umntwana wakho usenokungafuni ukunxiba imaski ngoko nangoko. Yiqhele kancinci kancinci. Qala ngemizuzu embalwa, uze ulandise ixesha kancinci kancinci.

Ngezinto ezincinci ezinje, singabakhuthaza ukuba banxibe iimaski.

Ngoko ke, zeziphi izinto ezibalulekileyo ekufuneka sizikhumbule?

Kulungile, ngokwento esithethe ngayo, bekufanele ukuba uqonde okuninzi ngabantwana kunye nokusetyenziswa kweemaski. Ngamafutshane:

• Iimaski zizixhobo ezilungileyo zokukhusela izifo zokuphefumla ezifana ne -COVID-19 .
• Iimaski zikhuselekile kwiintsana ezingaphantsi kweminyaka emibini ubudala, ngaphandle kwabo bangenakuzisusa ngokwabo. Ayichaphazeli amanqanaba eoksijini okanye ukufunda kwabantwana.
• Xa ukhetha imaski yabantwana, khetha evala iintsholongwane kakuhle, ebafanela kakuhle, nebalungeleyo . Imaski ethi `(Respirator)`, efana nethi `(KN95)` okanye `(KF94)`, inika ukhuseleko olungcono kakhulu.
• Yenza kube ngamava amnandi kubantwana abancinci ukuziqhelanisa nokufaka imaski.
• Kusesebubulumko ukunxiba imaski kwezinye iimeko, ingakumbi kwiindawo ezinabantu abaninzi, ngamaxesha apho kukho abantu abaneenkqubo zomzimba ezibuthathaka .

Khumbula, ukhuseleko lwabantwana bethu lubaluleke kakhulu kuthi. Ngoko ke, ukuba into encinci njengale ingabasindisa kwiingxaki ezininzi, yingxaki enkulu leyo, akunjalo? Ukuba unemibuzo engaphezulu malunga noku, buza ugqirha okanye umsebenzi wezempilo wosapho.
