Hina Khan has been following social distancing and has been encouraging others to do so as well. From posting a tutorial of how to work out at home, she has even posted a video on her Instagram to share how one should correctly wear a mask. The tutorial looks like a helpful one as she clearly instructs how the metallic tip should be used to cover the gaps of one’s nose bridge. In the beginning of the caption, she even put out a disclaimer saying that she is not an expert but has referred to the videos made by experts.

COVID-19: Hina Khan gives a tutorial on what is the right way to wear a mask before one steps out

The caption reads, “#RightWayToWearAMask Well I am not an expert but I had a look at one of the videos released by Professionals.. But I did not share that one and decided to create a video whr I personally am demonstrating same steps and safety measures, so that you all can relate to it and follow the right way on how to wear a basic simple surgical mask.. As a responsible citizen I would also like to convey that this basic mask will not provide you with complete safety from the virus.. while this basic surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large particle droplets but it does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may b transmitted by coughing and sneezing..but sadly majority of the people in our country are using this very basic simple surgical mask..Due to scarcity of masks and lack of awareness people are forced to buy these thin layered disposable masks..This is why I though that I shud atleast help them to wear it the right way.. I wud also like to urge people to opt for N95 respirator masks which seals your nose chin and mouth properly and is a bit more safer thn the basic surgical mask..although it’s not easily available, you may also go for a simple thick layered padded cloth mask, and you can reuse it, if washed properly with antiseptic and warm water, and if properly ironed.. I also agree to the fact that no matter how efficient a respirator is, it wont eliminate the exposure entirely???? since this virus progressively crawls through the bronchial tubes and affects our lungs, we have to take precautions by washing hands and wear masks when you step out.”
