Sifaka imikhiqizo esicabanga ukuthi ilusizo kubafundi bethu. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi ezikuleli khasi, singathola ikhomishini encane. Nansi inqubo yethu.

Ngenkathi iMelika ibhekana nokuqubuka komkhuhlane wezingulube ngo-2009, wonke umuntu wayekhuluma ngendlela yokunciphisa ukusabalala kwegciwane.

Ngokusho kwalokhu, ukutholakala komuthi wokugoma kwakukhawulelwe ngalowo nyaka ngoba igciwane alizange likhonjwe kuze kube yilapho abakhiqizi base beqalile ukukhiqiza umuthi wokugoma waminyaka yonke.

Ngakho-ke, abantu baqala ukwenza okuthile iningi lethu ebelingakaze likubone ngempela ukumisa ukudluliswa: ukugqoka izifihla-buso zokuhlinzwa.

Manje ngokusakazwa kwakamuva kwenoveli coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, abantu baphinde babheka kumamaski obuso okuhlinzwa njengendlela yokuzivikela kanye nabanye egciwaneni, elibanga lesi sifo i-COVID-19.

Kodwa ingabe ukufaka isifihla-buso sobuso kuvimbela ngempela ukusabalala kwamagciwane, njengomkhuhlane noma i-SARS-CoV-2?

Sizobheka izincomo ezivela kochwepheshe, sikhiphe ucwaningo ukuthi yimaphi amamaski asebenza kahle kakhulu, bese sichaza ukuthi ungasisebenzisa kanjani kahle buso.

Bathini ochwepheshe?

Endabeni yenoveli coronavirus ne-COVID-19, amanothi ukuthi ukumbozwa kobuso okulula noma imaski kungakunciphisa ukusabalala kwayo.

Kunconywa ukuthi abantu bagqoke okokumboza ubuso noma imaski ukumboza amakhala abo nomlomo uma besemphakathini. Lesi ngesinye isilinganiso sezempilo somphakathi abantu okufanele basithathe ukunciphisa ukusabalala kwe-COVID-19 ngokungezelela ekuhlukaneni kwezenhlalo noma ngokomzimba, ukugeza izandla njalo, nezinye izindlela zokuvimbela.

Abancoma abasebenzi bezempilo bagqoka izifihla-buso zobuso lapho besebenza neziguli ezinomkhuhlane.

I-CDC futhi iziguli ezibonisa izimpawu zezifo zokuphefumula zinikezwa imaski ngenkathi zisezilungiselelweni zokunakekelwa kwezempilo kuze kube yilapho zingabekwa zodwa.

Uma ugula futhi udinga ukuba seduze nabanye, ukugqoka kahle imaski kungavikela labo abaseduze kwakho ekutholeni igciwane nasekuthuthukiseni ukugula.

Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi amaski angasiza kwezinye izimo

Sekuyiminyaka eminingi, ososayensi bengazi ukuthi ukugqoka isifihla-buso kuyasebenza yini ekuvimbeleni ukusabalala kwamagciwane. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo lwamuva lubonisa ukuthi bangasiza.

Omunye ubheke ukuthi izimaski zingabasiza kanjani abantu abanomkhawulo womkhuhlane wonyaka ukuwusabalalisa lapho bekhipha amaconsi aqukethe igciwane. Sekukonke, abacwaningi bathola izifihla-buso eziholele ekwehlisweni okuphindwe kathathu kobuningi begciwane abantu abafafaze ngalo emoyeni.

Omunye, ehlaziya imininingwane evela ezinkulungwaneni zezingane zesikole zaseJapan, wathola ukuthi “ukugoma nokugqoka isifihla-buso kunciphisa amathuba okuba nomkhuhlane wonyaka.”

Okubalulekile, abacwaningi futhi ukuthi amazinga emikhuhlane abengaphansi lapho amaski ebhangqwe nenhlanzeko efanelekile yezandla.

Ngamanye amagama, ukugeza izandla njalo kuhlala kuyithuluzi elibalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukusabalala kwamagciwane.

Izinhlobo ezahlukene zamamaski

Uma ucabanga ukugqoka imaski ukuze uzivikele ezifweni, kunezinhlobo ezintathu okufanele wazi ngazo.

Izindwangu zokumboza ubuso noma buso

Ukumboza ubuso bendwangu noma amaski kungasetshenziswa ezindaweni zomphakathi, njengezitolo zokudla, lapho ungahle uthinte khona abanye futhi kunzima ukugcina ibanga lakho.

Ngokuya ngemikhombandlela yamanje, imaski yobuso noma okokumboza kufanele kugqokwe noma kunini lapho ukude nabanye abantu.

Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi imaski yobuso bendwangu ayinikeli ngezinga elifanayo lokuvikelwa njengamaski obuso wokuhlinzwa noma imishini yokuphefumula. Kodwa-ke, uma kugqokwe umphakathi wonkana, kusengasiza ukunciphisa ukusakazeka kwamagciwane emphakathini.

Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi zisiza ukuvimbela abantu abangenazo izimpawu ekudluliseni amagciwane ngamaconsi abo okuphefumula.

Ungazenzela ekhaya usebenzisa izinto ezimbalwa eziyisisekelo, njengendwangu kakotini, isikibha, noma i-bandana. ICDC ifaka ukuthunga eyakho ngomshini kanye nezindlela ezimbili zokuthunga.

Kufanele zilingane kahle ebusweni, zimboze ikhala lakho nomlomo. Futhi, sebenzisa izibopho noma izihibe zezindlebe ukuzigcina ziphephile.

Lapho ukhipha imaski yobuso bendwangu, zama ukugwema ukuthinta impumulo, umlomo namehlo.

Izimaski zobuso bendwangu akufanele zisetshenziswe yizingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kwemibili ubudala, abantu abanenkinga yokuphefumula, nabantu abangakwazi ukukhipha obuso babo.

Amaski obuso bokuhlinzwa

Izimaski zobuso ezihlinzekwayo zingamaski angavumelekile, alahlwayo avunywa yi-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ukuze asetshenziswe njengamadivayisi wezokwelapha. Odokotela, odokotela bamazinyo nabahlengikazi bavame ukuwagqoka ngenkathi belapha iziguli.

Lezi zimaski zivimbela amaconsi amakhulu oketshezi lomzimba olungaba namagciwane noma amanye amagciwane ekuphunyukeni ngamakhala nangomlomo. Zibuye zivikele ekuchaphazelweni nasezifuthweni ezivela kwabanye abantu, njengalezo ezivela ethimeni nasezikhwehleleni.

Thenga izifihla-buso zobuso ezivela e-Amazon noma eWalmart.

Abaphefumula

Imishini yokuphefumula, ebizwa nangokuthi buso be-N95, yenzelwe ukuvikela oyigqokayo ezinhlayiyaneni ezincane ezisemoyeni, njengamagciwane. Baqinisekiswe yi-CDC kanye ne-National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Igama livela ekutheni bangakwazi ukuhlunga izinhlayiya ezisemoyeni, ngokwe-CDC. Amaski angu-N95 nawo asetshenziswa kaningi lapho kupendwa noma kuphathwa izinto ezingaba nobuthi.

Ophikweni lokuphefumula bakhethwa ukulingana ubuso bakho. Kumele bakhe uphawu oluphelele ngakho-ke akukho zikhala ezivunyelwe kumagciwane asemoyeni. Abasebenzi bezokunakekelwa kwempilo bayazisebenzisa ukuvikela izifo ezithathelwanayo ezisemoyeni, njengesifo sofuba ne-anthrax.

Ngokungafani nezifihla-buso ezivamile zobuso, izinto zokuphefumula zivikela kuzinhlayiya ezinkulu nezincane.

Sekukonke, imishanguzo yokuphefumula ibhekwa njengephumelela kakhulu ekuvikeleni igciwane lomkhuhlane kunamaski obuso ajwayelekile.

Thenga amamaskhi we-N95 kwa-Amazon noma eWalmart.

Imihlahlandlela yokugqoka izimaski zobuso

Ngenkathi imaski yobuso ingasiza ekunciphiseni ukusabalala komkhuhlane namanye amagciwane okuphefumula, enza lokho kuphela uma egqoke kahle nangokuvamile.

Nayi eminye imihlahlandlela yokugqoka imaski efanele:

• Gqoka imaski yobuso lapho uza ngaphakathi kwamamitha ayisithupha womuntu ogulayo.
• Beka izintambo ukubeka imaski ngokuqinile endaweni yamakhala, umlomo, nesilevu. Zama ukungaphinde uthinte imaski uze uyisuse.
• Gqoka isifihla-buso sobuso ngaphambi kokuya eduze kwabanye abantu uma uphethwe umkhuhlane.
• Uma unemfuluwenza futhi udinga ukubona udokotela, gqoka isifihla-buso sobuso ukuze uvikele abanye endaweni yokulinda.
• Cabanga ukugqoka imaski ezindaweni eziminyene uma umkhuhlane usabalele emphakathini wakho, noma uma usengozini enkulu yezinkinga zomkhuhlane.
• Uma usuqedile ukugqoka imaski yobuso yokuhlinzwa noma umshini wokuphefumula, uwulahle bese ugeza izandla zakho. Ungalokothi uyisebenzise futhi.
• Geza isifihla-buso sendwangu yakho ngemuva kokusebenzisa ngakunye.

Amaski amaphakathi ongawathenga esitolo sezidakamizwa sendawo akwanele ukuhlunga amagciwane.

Ngaleyo njongo, ochwepheshe bancoma amaski akhethekile anezikhala ezinhle ezingabamba izinto ezincane kakhulu. Lezi nazo kufanele zigqokwe kahle ukuze zisebenze.

Izimaski ezigqokwa ebusweni nazo azikwazi ukukuvikela ekutholeni izinhlayiya zegciwane elisemoyeni, ekukhwehleleni noma ethimeleni, emehlweni akho.

Ngezansi: Ukugqoka, noma ukungagqoki

Uma kukhulunywa ngomkhuhlane, ukuvimbela kuseyindlela engcono kakhulu yokuzigcina uvikelekile kuleligciwane elithelelana kakhulu.

Isifihla-buso sobuso singanikela ngokuvikela okwengeziwe ekuguleni. Azikho izingozi ezaziwayo zokugqoka lawa madivayisi, ngaphandle kwezindleko zokuzithenga.

Ngenkathi imaski iyithuluzi elilodwa elibalulekile lokunciphisa ukusabalala kwezifo, kubalulekile futhi ukusebenzisa ezinye izindlela zokuzivikela, futhi.

Qiniseka ukuthi ugeza izandla kaningi - ikakhulukazi uma useduze nabanye okungenzeka ukuthi bagula. Futhi, qiniseka ukuthi uthola umkhuhlane wakho waminyaka yonke ukuze uzivikele wena nabanye ekusakazeni igciwane.
