Are You Wearing Your Mask Right?

 

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

BY ARKCHETYPE PRODUCTIONS

“DORSCON Orange? Have no fear! I’m wearing a mask! …. …  Right?”

COVID-19 is still on the prowl, and more people are putting on masks- either to weather the storm or to protect others from their sniffles. These tiny shields provide a sense of security… but are you wearing it correctly? Are you keeping yourself and/or others safe?

The social media is currently awash with pictures of people wearing masks in the most creative of ways, providing us with the welcome respite of a giggle or two amidst the anxiety. But beyond the laughs, the gravity of the situation hit us - proper wearing and disposal of masks do make a significant difference to the amount of protection.

We all want ourselves and our loved ones to be protected in these trying times! Our previous video “MASKS: A MUST” tackled pressing questions about the use of Masks against the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov). Our latest and second video “ARE YOU WEARING YOUR MASK RIGHT?” (below) highlights the correct way of using our masks.

For those with family and friends who are more comfortable with Chinese, Malay or Tamil, we’ve got you. Translated versions are available for you right here:

ENGLISH

CHINESE

MALAY

TAMIL

Don’t forget to share these with your family and friends, and don’t be shy to correct those who are wearing their masks wrongly! We are in this together! This video can also be found on our Facebook, Linkedin, and Instagram pages.

If you wish to play the video in any public setting, feel free to reach out to us for a download link to the HD video files.

A very big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to those who have helped out one way or another, pro bono, for the various language translations in this video production!

The outbreak of COVID-19 which was declared a global emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO), have sparked and fuelled threads of fake news on the usage of various face masks being circulated around us. To gain insight on the matter and advocate for the truth, in-depth research was done in the creation of our Public Service Announcement (PSA) video “Masks: A Must?”
