It turned out that many of them were strictly follow the mask regime. Moreover, everyone from small to large wears masks not only in public places, but also just on the street. Well, let's find out their position!
Mask mode Sophia, student "I basically walk in a mask on the street." Especially if it’s a city center with a lot of people. And by the way, most of them, of course, without masks. Even if there is a distance between me and a person, a mask is an additional way to protect yourself.

I prefer reusable masks with an interchangeable valve. It's very convenient. You do not need to buy a new mask at the pharmacy every time. Secondly, it is more environmentally friendly.”
Veronica, producer of "I'm more relaxed when I'm walking down the street wearing a mask." Especially since it is absolutely easy for me to do this for my own safety and for those around me. I usually wear reusable masks. After each use I try to wash them. And if I need to go to the store, I take a disposable because I have been there for a long time. Then I throw it away.

For example, I recently started sorting garbage by fraction. It is great that the infrastructure is developing in this regard.”
Alexandra Grigorievna, teacher, pensioner “My students are very worried about my health.” That's why they keep telling me not to even think about going outside without a mask. Well, I listen like an obedient teacher. I am 76 years old and have been retired for 2 years. But my former students still come to me, take care of me. At the beginning of the quarantine, I did not go anywhere, they bought everything.
Now I go out more often, I still have to move. I always take a spare mask with me if anything happens. I don’t take my own clothes off, even if I’m just walking around the house. Anyone who comes to me is always wearing a mask. Take care of me.
Andrey, a student, said, “Easing quarantine does not mean that the virus is gone.” The mask must be worn, whether it is on the street or on public transport. There are people everywhere. I always wear a mask because I care about myself and my family. It is also important for the people around me. I use disposable and reusable masks. I do not always have time to wash the second, so the first ones come in. Quick and convenient!
I don’t understand why there are so many people without masks. Think about how many patients there were in China and how severe the quarantine was. But it's okay now. Why? Because people wore masks and sat at home. Such a large number of cases now is the result of neglect of the pandemic.
All my Chinese friends who live in the CIS countries wear masks absolutely everywhere. I brought my masks from China. They protect better and better. So I change my mask once every two days, and that's enough.
To be honest, sometimes I just forget to take off my mask when I leave the store or subway. She became like an extension of my body or a second person, if you will. Of course, sometimes I walk outside without protective equipment. But if I see a large crowd of people, my hand involuntarily reaches into my pocket. I often work as a photographer at social events. That's why I'm always wearing a mask there.”
Dinara, concertmaster, I don’t want to take any more risks. I wear masks in all public places and even on the street. Doctors recommend changing the mask every 4 hours, and I do. I buy disposable masks at the pharmacy. I don’t pay attention to money because health is more important.

Of course, I don't like wearing a mask because it's uncomfortable. Especially for those who wear glasses. But what can you do? ?
Anton, architect, I wear masks everywhere. At work, almost everyone has stopped wearing them, and I am constantly being joked about. But I don't care because I'm worried about my health. I have both disposable and reusable masks. I wear them in turn and wash them after each use.
I do not believe that masks do not protect against anything. Why do doctors wear them when talking to patients? Look at the number of sick people every day. How can you not wear a mask, endangering yourself and others? Besides, I don’t shake anyone’s hand and I don’t understand this desire to touch a stranger. All these new-fangled greetings with a fist, elbow or foot are incomprehensible to me.”
Marina, librarian, I don't know if the person passing by me is healthy. So the mask is my protection. And for others, too, because I can not know one hundred percent whether I am a carrier. I wear a mask on the street and in the office. I have a special mask for the street and for work. For walks, fabric is suitable, and for the office - gauze. It's just less fogging glasses. I wash all my masks with ordinary soap after use.””
“Until we have an effective vaccine, the mask is mandatory for everyone.” Asian countries have proven that compliance with the mask regime helps to stop the spread of the virus. I do not understand the attitude of Europeans towards this. Maybe it’s about the culture, I don’t know.
© Freepik On the example of the United States, Mexico or Brazil, you can see what leads to non-compliance with quarantine measures. Do we want the same? I buy disposable masks in bulk, it is cheaper. I change them twice a day if they are active. Also, my mother made me reusable fabric masks. I also use them and wash them regularly”.
The situation around the world is getting worse every day. So, you and I, dear reader, must be responsible. When I see children playing on the court and their parents sitting in crowds on the benches next to me, it becomes sad and scary at the same time. Unfortunately, not all people understand the seriousness of what is happening. And some people don't even believe it. If we don’t start to treat a problem of this magnitude wisely, it will turn against us.

And no matter how tired you get of this damned mask (we understand you perfectly well), it should be worn. So you will protect yourself and your loved ones and those around you.
