Free face masks are distributed on public transport

Starting this Monday, hygienic masks will be distributed on public transport as protection for all people who have to go out on the street for work reasons and need to use a means of transportation.

The masks are manufactured without particulate filters although they serve as a protective barrier. They are intended for adults who do not present symptoms and do not have filtering face masks.

The use of the mask should be single-use and non-transferable, although it can be used more than once if it is used for short periods of time. The mask should be washed with soap and water, or by applying an alcohol-based liquid.

To place it, the person must wash his/her hands. Once placed, it should not be touched again. If it needs to be done, do not forget to wash your hands again.

To remove it, the following must be done: take off the protective gloves; then wash your hands, remove the mask without touching the front part and dispose of it in the container inside a plastic bag. Finally, we must wash our hands again.
