Allyson Chiu of The Washington Post reports with recommendations from medical expert Jade Flinn, a nurse educator for the Biocontainment Unit at Johns Hopkins Medicine:
For example, masks should probably not be hung on the rearview mirror of a car, Flinn said. “If I’m hanging that in my rearview mirror and then I have the air conditioner blasting, is what’s on that mask now blowing around inside my car?” she said.
To expand on Flinn's concerns, we created a list of the most common mask storage mistakes including hanging your mask on your car's rearview mirror or in your car's cupholder.
Your clean masks are being exposed to bacteria and germs when you aren't wearing them. By not properly storing your masks in a mask case, you're leaving your mask vulnerable to cross-contamination found through improper mask storage. A clean mask is a safe mask!
