What Do You Do If You Need To Re-Use A Dirty Face Mask?

The CDC has advised Americans to wear masks when outdoors and in public.

But how do you dispose of them safely?

According to Allure, surgical masks are designed to be disposable.

However, it's well known they're in short supply.

Since studies haven’t confirmed if it’s at all possible to safely wash surgical masks so they remain effective, don't try to wash and dry them at home.

If you have to re-use, leave it stored in a container in the contaminated area for 72 hours.
