Tips on Wearing Masks for Notary Signing Agents

by

There are a lot of discussions nationwide about wearing masks during this pandemic. Just this week, for instance, while out on assignments, I have had some signers state to me prior to arriving at their location that they will only meet with me if I have a mask on. While other signers have stated that they will not be wearing masks during the transaction and would prefer I didn’t wear one because they don’t believe the pandemic is real. No matter where you are on this issue, we recommend you implement systems to keep yourself safe.

For those notary entrepreneurs that wear masks during this pandemic, here are a couple of tips.

Invest in a More Breathable Mask

Masks can be uncomfortable, especially when it’s hot and humid. Experts say, however, that wearing a mask reduces transmission, helping to curb the spread of coronavirus and to quite literally save lives. Choose a mask that has more structure than those that lie flat against your mouth. Ensure that the material in your mask doesn’t cause heat rashes. The latest recommendation is to use multiple layers of fabric to produce the most effective protective barrier to the virus. So, instead of using a thick cotton, consider a thinner cotton fabric, but layering it.

Bring Backup Masks

Wearing masks consistently can make them literally sweaty and stinky. This can also cause acne breakouts. Make sure to pack a few extra fresh clean masks daily. Put these in a sealable baggie so it won’t be exposed to any germs before you slip it on your face.

Be Aware of Overheating

According to experts, wearing a mask over your mouth and nose can make it more difficult to breathe, especially for people with existing conditions, such as asthma, claustrophobia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. That can actually lead to shortness of breath and allow heat to build up in the body, resulting in illness like heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Avoid being outside in the direct sun for too long and stay hydrated. You may need to drink more water than usual during this time of year to make up for increased sweating.
