Izingane Nezimaski: Kumelwe uzazi lezi zinto ngesikhathi (se-COVID-19)!

Uyakhumbula ukuthi ubhubhane (i-COVID-19) luqale nini? Cishe wonke umuntu waphuma egqoke izifihla-buso. Kwakuyingxenye yempilo yethu, akunjalo? Lezi zifihla-buso zasisiza hhayi nje kuphela ukugwema (i-COVID-19), kodwa nezinye izifo eziningi zokuphefumula ezifana nomkhuhlane, umkhuhlane, kanye ne-(RSV). Ngakho-ke, namuhla sizokhuluma ngezinto ezithile okudingeka uzazi ngalezi zingane kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezifihla-buso.

Imaski ingasisiza kanjani?

Kulungile, manje ake sibone ukuthi le maski isivikela kanjani. Kalula nje , lapho sikhuluma, siphefumula, sihleka, sikhwehlela, futhi sithimula, amaconsi amancane amanzi akhishwa emilonyeni nasemakhaleni ethu. La maconsi angaqukatha igciwane elibangela lesi sifo. Ngakho-ke, uma unemaski efakwe kahle, la maconsi aqukethe igciwane ayavinjelwa kakhulu ukuba akhishwe. Lokho kusho ukuthi awunawo amathuba amaningi okusabalalisa lesi sifo komunye umuntu.

Akukhona lokho kuphela, kodwa ukugqoka imaski kunciphisa nengozi yakho yokugula. Ngoba kuvimbela amaconsi egciwane avela kwabanye abantu ukuthi angangeni ekhaleni nasemlonyeni wakho. Enye into ukuthi sivame ukuthinta ubuso bethu, imilomo, namakhala. Uma sinamagciwane ezandleni zethu, singagula futhi. Uma ugqoka imaski, uthinta nobuso bakho kancane. Lokho futhi kuyindlela yokuzivikela. Kulula kakhulu, akunjalo?

Ubani okudingeka agqoke imaski futhi nini?

Manje emazweni amaningi, isibonelo e-United States, akuphoqelekile ukuthi abantu abaphilile, labo abangakavezwa ku-COVID-19, bagqoke imaski ezindaweni zomphakathi. Kodwa-ke, lokho akusho ukuthi ukubaluleka kwemaski kuye kwehla. Kusenezimo ezithile lapho ukugqoka imaski kuyisibopho sokuziphatha.

Cabanga nje, uma umuntu ene-COVID-19, noma eke waba seduze nomuntu one-COVID-19, kufanele nakanjani agqoke imaski ukuze avimbele ukusabalalisa lesi sifo kwabanye. Lowo umthwalo wemfanelo wethu.

Ngaphandle kwalokho, kuwukuhlakanipha futhi ukugqoka imaski kulezi zimo, ikakhulukazi uma ungaphandle kwekhaya nasezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi:

• Uma inani leziguli ze-COVID-19 endaweni ohlala kuyo liphezulu , noma uma inani labantu abalaliswe esibhedlela liphezulu.
• Uma amasosha omzimba wakho ebuthakathaka (okusho ukuthi ikhono lomzimba wakho lokulwa nokugula liyancipha) noma unesifo esingamahlalakhona.
• Uma unomuntu ekhaya lakho onesimiso somzimba esibuthakathaka (isibonelo, umuntu osekhulile, umuntu onezinye izifo, usana oluncane), kungaba nzima kakhulu kuye uma ethola i-COVID-19.
• Uma uhamba amabanga amade , njengasebhasini noma esitimeleni, ingozi iphakeme ngoba abantu abavela ezifundeni ezahlukene babuthana ndawonye. Futhi, imaski ibalulekile ngoba uzoba ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi ezingenawo umoya omningi.

Iseluleko sokugqoka la maski singashintsha ngezikhathi ezithile, kuye ngokusabalala kwe-COVID-19 esifundeni ngasinye. Ngakho-ke, kuhle ukuqaphela nalokho futhi.

Ngubani okungafanele agqoke imaski?

Lokhu kulula kakhulu. Akuyona into enhle ukufaka imaski enganeni engaphansi kweminyaka emibili . Kungabangela ubunzima bokuphefumula. Futhi, uma umuntu engakwazi ukususa imaski eyedwa,(Isibonelo, abantu abadala abakhubazekile, izingane ezinezidingo ezikhethekile), akukhuthazwa ukuthi nabo bagqoke imaski.

Manje abanye abazali bayazibuza, 'Ingabe kuzoba nzima ngengane yethu ukuphefumula uma sifaka imaski? Ingabe lokhu kuzothinta ukufunda nokukhula kwayo?' Ungakhathazeki. Kuye kwaba nocwaningo oluningi ngalokhu. Cishe konke lokhu kuthole ukuthi kuphephile ngokuphelele ngezingane ezingaphezu kweminyaka emibili ukugqoka imaski, noma ngabe zinezinye izinkinga zempilo.

Imaski ayinciphisi inani lomoya-mpilo oya emaphashini engane. Futhi, sekuvele kwacaca ukuthi imaski ayilimazi ukufunda noma intuthuko yengane. Ngakho ungakhathazeki ngakho, kulungile?

Yiziphi izinhlobo zemaski ezingcono kakhulu zezingane?

Kudingeka siqaphele kancane lapho sikhetha imaski yezingane. Akuzona zonke imaski ezifanayo. Ukuze uthole imiphumela emihle kakhulu, imaski kufanele ibukeke kanje:

• Kufanele kube yisithiyo esihle ngokumelene namagciwane: Imaski kufanele ibe nezendlalelo eziningana. Lawo maski anezimbobo zomoya awalungile, ngoba angakhipha amagciwane. Amamaski endwangu asethandwa kakhulu. Angcono kunokungasho lutho. Kodwa-ke, awabonakali evimba amagciwane kanye namamaski okuhlinza, okungukuthi, amamaski alahlwayo esiwasebenzisa odokotela, esiwasebenzisa kanye bese siwalahla. Angcono kakhulu ekuvimbeleni amagciwane abizwa ngokuthi 'ama-Respirators'. Lawa ahlolwe kahle futhi aqinisekiswe ukuthi ahlangabezana nezindinganiso zokuhlunga eziphezulu. Ungawathola anamagama anjengokuthi `(KN95)` noma `(KF94)`. Lawa angase abize kancane, kodwa avikela kakhulu.

• Kufanele ilingane kahle: Imaski kufanele imboze kahle ikhala nomlomo. Akufanele kube nezikhala nhlangothi zombili. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthola usayizi ofanele izingane futhi ofanela ubuso bazo. Ukugqoka imaski enkulu kakhulu ngeke kunikeze isivikelo esanele.

• Okukhululekile: Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezinganeni ezincane. Uma befuna ukukugqoka, kufanele kube mnandi. Ngeke bafune ukugqoka imaski elumayo noma ebuhlungu. Uma ukuthola kunzima ukufaka "i-respirator" (i-respirator), zama imaski yokuhlinzwa. Noma ungafaka imaski yendwangu phezu kwemaski yokuhlinzwa ukuze uthole isivikelo esengeziwe. Khumbula, noma iyiphi imaski ingane yakho engayigqoka ngokukhululeka ingcono kunokungabi nayo nhlobo imaski.

Uma usebenzisa izifihla-buso zendwangu, zigeze kahle ngensipho namanzi njalo . Izifihla-buso ezilahlwayo kufanele zisetshenziswe kanye bese zilahlwa. Izifihla-buso zokuphefumula ngokuvamile zingasetshenziswa izikhathi eziningana, kuze kube yilapho zingcolile noma zingasafaneleki kahle. Zigcine esikhwameni sephepha uma zingasetshenziswa. Ungazigcini esikhwameni sepulasitiki, njengoba lokhu kungabamba umswakama.

Ungabenza kanjani abantwana bajwayele ukugqoka imaski?

Ukwenza izingane zethu zigqoke imaski kungaba yinselele ngezinye izikhathi. Kuyiqiniso lokho. Kodwa nanka amathiphu ambalwa azokusiza:

• Bafundise ukugqoka nokukhipha imaski ngendlela efanele: Bakhumbuze ngobumnene ukuthi kokubili ikhala nomlomo wabo kufanele kuvikelwe yimaski ngaso sonke isikhathi. Uma uphatha imaski, batshele ukuthi bathinte izihibe zendlebe noma izibopho kuphela. Lokhu kuzobavimbela ukuthinta ingaphambili lemaski, okuyihlangothi lapho amagciwane angangena khona kuyo.
• Yiba yisibonelo: Uma ugqoka imaski ngendlela efanele, ingane yakho ingase ikulingise.
• Yenza kube mnandi, wenzele bona okuthile okukhethekile: Namuhla, kunezimaski ezimibalabala nezinhle ezitholakala ezitolo. Thola izimaski ezinabalingiswa bekhathuni ababathandayo, amaqhawe amabhayisikobho, ubuso obuhlekisayo, nezilwane. Ngaleyo ndlela, uma bethanda okuthile, kulula ngabo ukwenza ukugqoka isimaski kube yingxenye evamile yendlela yabo yansuku zonke. Cabanga nje, uma uthengele indodakazi yakho isimaski esinenkosazana yayo eyithandayo, ibingajabula kangakanani ukusigqoka? Noma mhlawumbe indodana yakho ineqhawe eliyintandokazi kuyo?
• Yiba nesineke: Ingane yakho ingase ingafuni ukugqoka imaski ngokushesha. Yijwayele kancane kancane. Qala ngemizuzu embalwa, bese ukhulisa isikhathi kancane kancane.

Ngezinto ezincane ezinjengalezi, singabakhuthaza ukuthi bagqoke imaski.

Ngakho-ke, yiziphi izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu okudingeka sizikhumbule?

Kulungile, kulokho esikhulume ngakho, bekufanele ngabe uqonde okuningi ngabantwana kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamaski. Ngamafuphi:

• Amamaski ayithuluzi elihle lokuvikela izifo zokuphefumula ezifana ne -COVID-19 .
• Amamaski aphephile ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka emibili ubudala, ngaphandle kwalabo abangakwazi ukuzisusa ngokwabo. Akuthinti amazinga omoya-mpilo noma ukufunda kwezingane.
• Uma ukhetha imaski yezingane, khetha evimba amagciwane kahle, efanelana kahle, futhi ebalungele . Imaski ethi `(Respirator)`, njenge `(KN95)` noma `(KF94)`, inikeza isivikelo esingcono kakhulu.
• Kwenze kube yinto ejabulisayo ezinganeni ezincane ukuzijwayeza ukufaka imaski.
• Kusewukuhlakanipha ukugqoka imaski kwezinye izimo, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi, ngezikhathi zezifo eziningi, nasezindaweni lapho kukhona khona abantu abanezivikeli mzimba ezibuthakathaka .

Khumbula, ukuphepha kwezingane zethu kuyinto eza kuqala kithi. Ngakho-ke, uma into encane njengale ingabasindisa ezinkingeni eziningi, lokho kuyinto enkulu, akunjalo? Uma uneminye imibuzo mayelana nalokhu, buza udokotela noma isisebenzi sezempilo somndeni.

Impilo yabantwana , i-Covid-19, imaski, isifo sokuphefumula, ukuphepha, izingane, i-KN95
