Remove Mask Outside in Summer
There are also theories that the virus is weak against sunlight or that it is not very prevalent in the hot and humid summer. In fact it may be so. However, if you let your guard down just because of that, you may end up in a lot of trouble. With no one knowing when the virus will strike again, it's best to be on your guard.
On the other hand, it is important to pay attention to non-viral problems such as heat stroke.
It seems better to remove the mask outdoors in the summer. Wearing a mask makes it easier to get stuffy. It is said that wearing a mask makes your face sweat, raises your body temperature, and makes you more susceptible to heat stroke. In summer, it may be better to worry about the harmful effects of wearing a mask rather than the benefits.
Do not wear a mask outdoors, especially in midsummer when intense heat is expected. If you must wear a mask because you will be close to people, choose a cloth mask that absorbs sweat instead of a non-woven mask.
It's best to wear a non-woven fabric mask when you're indoors where the temperature and humidity are low, or where the air conditioner is working and it's chilly, so you won't sweat much. If you catch a cold in the summer and sneeze without wearing a mask, people around you will be worried.
In the hot summer season, use different masks depending on the location and situation, and try to prevent infection effectively.
