Nursing home that my wife works at just sent out a text saying they’ll be handing out masks to all employees and they’re to be worn at all times and left at the facility at the end of the shift. What was odd is they say they’ll supply brown paper bags for people to keep them in. I told her to bring a ziploc from home. When you buy a mask for 3M spray painting, it comes with a ziplock mylar coated plastic bag to prevent the charcoal from absorbing things while not in use. I have no idea what kind of masks they are or how long people are supposed to reuse them day after day. Don’t know if they’re planning on disinfecting them somehow. Guess she’ll find out next shift.
Covid lives a lot longer on plastic than on paper. I think something like 3 days to 1 day, so paper bags makes sense.
