The Sotero+ mask should be worn when there is community spread in your neighbourhood, especially when you can’t maintain a social (physical) distance of 1.5m from others. Wearing a mask may protect you from others who may be transmitting the virus and helps prevent you spreading it to others if you are carrying the virus.
This mask is not suitable for respiratory protection against harmful gases and vapours, including smoke, or in hypoxic, low airflow or underwater environments. It is also not designed for use in medical or clinical care settings.
The WHO advises that children under 6 should not be required to wear masks. Children aged 6-11 should have adequate adult supervision if wearing masks.
