History teaches that history teaches nothing.

In fact judging by the approach we took to this Epidemic of COVID-19despite the experience of the great Spanish epidemic of 1920, one can only take note of the veracity of the citations of Alessandro Manzoni.

Today as then we often find ourselves doing trivial but fundamental errors in the use of the mask. Respect for important and simple rules of behavior and care can make the difference.

The filter mask is a fundamental accessory in the limited and necessary exits or in the workplace. Before even understanding which type is best to wear, it is certainly necessary to understand how to use the accessory in the most correct way.

Here are some key points:

• The Mask must be taken from the rubber bands, worn and no longer touched;
• It must cover NOSE AND MOUTH WELL, NOT be worn under the nose (see woman in the center photo of the 1920 Spanish epidemic), much less be lowered under the chin (see girl on the right photo Covid-19 epidemic of 2020);
• The mask must always be removed from the rubber bands;
• Once removed, it must be placed (handling it by the rubber bands or with disposable gloves) inside an envelope to be closed and thrown in the undifferentiated.
