Good Morning Britain’s Dr Sarah Jarvis has demonstrated how to correctly remove your face mask while dining at a restaurant.
The television doctor explained to Ben Shephard, Kate Garraway and viewers that it’s best to take two different coverings while dining out to protect against catching coronavirus.
After recommending against using face masks with filters, Dr Sarah began by pointing out that the whole idea is to keep your mouth and nose covered at all times.
‘Clearly that is not feasible when you’re eating, so you take your mask off,’ she said. ‘Ideally, you take it off from behind.
‘Do not touch your face and please do not just put it back on again when you leave the restaurant because the problem with that is you could contaminate your hands and your mask might have virus on it.’

‘So should you have another mask?’ asked Kate. ‘Is it not enough to wash your hands?’
‘No, you need to wash your hands as well,’ replied Dr Sarah. ‘But you need to have another mask.’
Dr Sarah’s advice comes days after new government rules made it mandatory for people to wear face coverings in shops, takeaways and supermarkets in England.
Those aged over 11 will need to don a covering to do a lot of general shopping, unless they have a valid reason not to such as an illness or disability.
Anyone flouting the rules risk being hit with a £100 fine. The full list of places masks or similar coverings must be worn, including banks, building societies and post offices, can be found here.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
