Proper sterilisation of reusable masks is of great importance and masks should not be used more than 30 times, doctors in the UAE have said.

Healthcare professionals recommended washing one’s mask after every wear to prevent spreading Covid-19 or other diseases.
Fabric masks can be washed with other laundry and it’s best to use warm or hot water.
Dr Hazem Germanos, specialist internal medicine at Prime Medical Center, Barsha Heights branch, pointed out: “The reusable masks can be used up to 30 times, if there is no tear or damage and if washed properly. After 30 times of use, the mask will lose properties of protection. Additionally, it should be worn and taken off with clean hands. It should be washed daily with warm water and soap or any detergent for at least 20 seconds.”

I took
a quantitative test, which measures the level of antibodies in a person’s blood against the Sars-Cov-2 virus, which causes Covid-19.
It provides three results, with levels of two antibodies: one against the N protein – or nucleocapsid – which is found inside the virus; and one against the spike or S, on the surface, which the virus
uses to enter our bodies. UAE residents of all ages are eligible for the Sinopharm shot, which is available across the seven emirates. All photos by Victor Besa / The National
