Aoa dr can we use same surgical mask again and again ? Or could we wash it ?

Ideally a surgical mask is a single use mask and should be disposed after one single use. It CAN NOT be washed and uses again under any circumstances.
surgical masks can only be used for 8 to hours and then discard.
nylon or cotton masks are washable and should dry in sun
N95 mask is reusable for 4 to 5days, u can use it for 100days too if u wear surgical mask above covering the N95 but u need to change surgical mask daily

Surgical masks are disposable & can't be used more than once.
W.Salam. Such practice is not appreciated. some studies in Norway Suggest one should wear surgical mask for 45 minutes only. Surgical Mask should be disposed off after one use.

Ideally surgical mask is disposable nd cn b used once
it is disposible mask mean you can not use it again.
but unfortunatly our common people are using it for weeks . if u use it weeks then senitize it with alchol senitizer aur chlorine solution ,so it does not become source of infection
once again idealy it is disposable . once useable.
thank you
walaikumasalaam
