“This is not even funny .. am wearing a double mask đ·.. canât breath well again.. ps: letâs protect ourselves”, she wrote.
A follower identified as cryptz_jeokay opined: “Please don’t pick no offense. I would strongly advice that the mask and the gloves are of no protection for the virus, it’s only by regularly washing your hands with soap and water or alcohol disinfectant. Because it’s a respiratory virus and one can contract it through the nose, mouth or the eyes, so if your hands come across the droplets of the COVID-19 and you try to touch your face or adjust your face mask, there a chance of getting infected. The mask is for this you have the virus so when the cough, sneeze or talk the droplets will be contained and not affect people unknowingly. Please note, 80% of people with the virus will not sure symptoms for as long as 20 to 41 days after being infected. Please be safe and may GOD help us all”.
