Shed light on if your mask is up to the task
Hold your cloth mask up to the light or in front of a candle flame. If you can see through it, it probably won’t provide enough protection.
Mask yourself and try to blow out a candle. If you can, it’s too thin.

Mask know-how
Not sure if you are doing it right? Here’s some help from Canada’s public health officials
Using the COVID-19 mask: how to fit your mask properly .
Why wear a mask : A well-made and properly fitted face mask is one of many public health measures that can prevent you and others from being exposed to the COVID-19 virus.
Getting the right fit: Whatever mask you wear, a good fit is the key to its effectiveness.
- Make sure it completely covers your nose, mouth, and chin.
- Check the spaces between your face and your mask. This includes the top, sides and bottom.
- Improve the fit of the mask so that it is snug and gap-free. You can do this by adjusting the clips, bands or earrings or the nosepiece.

Other ways to improve the fit include:
- Tie knots in the earrings.
- Layer a tight fitting nonmedical fabric mask over a disposable mask to help bring the edges of the disposable mask closer to your face. Of course, you’ll want to make sure that you can still breathe easily when you are overtaking.
- Consider keeping facial hair shaved or short if possible to allow masks to fit more closely to your face
Does your mask pass the test? A properly fitted mask should:
- Be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose, mouth and chin without gaps.
- Do not let air escape from the edges.
- Fits securely to the head with ties, bands or earrings.
- Be comfortable and don’t require frequent adjustments.
- If it is reusable, it should retain its shape after washing and drying.
Keep in mind that the fit of the mask varies depending on the size and characteristics of your face.
