If you do not wear it properly like this, there is no preventive effect, so we highly recommend wearing it correctly.
Precautions When Wearing a Mask

For pregnant women, individuals with respiratory diseases, children, and the elderly, if breathing becomes uncomfortable while wearing a mask, please stop use and consult a specialist if necessary.

When discarding a mask after use, it is best to cut the ear loops, fold the outer surface inward, wrap it with the loops, and then throw it away.
