1 Reusable surgical mask for temporary use during pandemic events
This reusable surgical mask is completely homemade, it is neither tested nor certified. It only serves as a reasonable alternative if no certified surgical masks are available during pandemic events.
After careful consideration, the production and use are the responsibility of the user.
The surgical mask for temporary use is intended to reduce the spread of droplets by the wearer (patient protection / reverse isolation). It is therefore not a self-protection and its effectiveness depends on the density of the material used. The additional insertion of a boil- proof non-woven fabric can significantly increase the effectiveness.
Corona viruses are transmitted by droplets for example, which are emerge among others when speaking, coughing or sneezing and can affect the mucous membranes of contact persons within reach. The droplets can also reach surfaces and contaminate them. Direct hand contact with surfaces that are contaminated with virus-containing secretions and subsequent hand-mouth-nose contact can also lead to transmission.
Wearing the surgical mask for temporary use may reduce the transmission of Corona infection. It is advisable to wear a makeshift surgical mask for temporary use each time you come into contact with people at risk (e.g. elderly, immunosuppressed, certain pre-existing conditions) to prevent the distribution of droplets to contact persons.
In order to provide the population with enough makeshift surgical masks for temporary use in the event of a pandemic, the following sewing instructions for self-sewing a washable surgical mask have been prepared.

2 Sewing instructions for a reusable surgical mask
The following materials are required:
1. two 90 cm long and 2 cm wide fabric strips (boil-proof cotton)
2. two 17 cm long and 2 cm wide fabric strips (boil-proof cotton)
3. a 15 cm long thin and flexible wire (e.g. handicraft wire, pipe cleaner, clamping wire of
freezer bags)
4. 17cm x 34 cm large cloth made of breathable, boil-proof, permeable cotton fabric (e.g.
cloth diaper, T-shirt fabric, light cotton cloth)
Testing the permeability of breathing:
•Take a double cloth
•Close tightly around mouth and nose
•Inhale and exhale
If inhalation and exhalation is possible without any major breathing resistance, the material is suitable as face mask!

= breathable, boil-proof cotton fabric, (e.g. cloth diaper, T-shirt)
= boil-proof cotton fabric
= Wire for fixing in the nose area (e.g. handicraft wire, pipe cleaner)

Mark and cut out a 17 x 34 cm large cloth
Fold the cloth in half and iron.
Iron into the cloth 3 evenly distributed folds (fold depth ca. 2 cm).

Cut out two 90 cm long and 2 cm wide strips (headbands) and two 17 cm long and 2 cm wide strips (border) of cotton fabric.
Maybe trim borders.
Fold the fabric of all four strips in half and iron them.
Insert the cloth at the top and bottom into the border.
Insert the wire into the upper part of the border.
Fold the border around the wire

Fasten the border with pins and start sewing.
Insert the cloth with the ironed- in folds into the headbands on both sides.
Pin the headbands and sew.

3 Care and cleaning of the reusable surgical mask
Store the reusable surgical mask in a dry place. Wash the reusable surgical mask before using it for the first time. After use undo the reusable surgical mask carefully and avoid touching it except for the headbands. Wash your hands after undoing the mask!
Used surgical masks should be cleaned after use or at least once a day. They can either be washed at 90°C in the washing machine or cooked on the stove in boiling water (5 minutes). Afterwards the reusable surgical mask must be dried.
4 Disclaimer of liability
It is specifically pointed out that the City of Essen assumes no liability for the effectiveness, manufacture or proper use of the makeshift surgical mask. Any claim for damages against the City of Essen due to injury to life, body or health – regardless of whether the user or the respective counterparty – is excluded.
The manufacture / use of the makeshift surgical mask is exclusively at your own risk.
It is pointed out that the hygiene regulations of the Robert Koch Institute (Germany) or the respective national authority must be followed in any case.

ドイツ、エッセン市–その場しのぎのサージカルマスクの縫製手順
1パンデミックイベントの一時的な使用のための再利用可能なサージカルマスク
この再利用可能なサージカルマスクは完全に自家製であり、テストも認定もされていません。 パンデミックイベント中に認定されたサージカルマスクが利用できない場合にのみ、適切な代替手段として機能します。
慎重に検討した後、生産と使用はユーザーの責任です。
一時的な使用のためのサージカルマスクは、着用者による液滴の広がりを減らすことを目的としています（患者の保護/逆隔離）。 したがって、それは自己保護ではなく、その効果は使用される材料の密度に依存します。 耐ボイル不織布を追加挿入すると、効果が大幅に向上します。
コロナウイルスは、例えば、発話、咳、くしゃみの際に出現する飛沫によって伝染し、手の届くところにいる人の粘膜に影響を与える可能性があります。 液滴は表面に到達して汚染する可能性もあります。 ウイルスを含む分泌物で汚染された表面と直接手で触れ、その後に口と鼻が直接接触することも感染につながる可能性があります。
一時的に使用するためにサージカルマスクを着用すると、コロナ感染の伝染が減少することがあります。 リスクのある人々（高齢者、免疫抑制、特定の既存の状態など）と接触するたびに一時的に使用するために、その場での飛沫の分布を防ぐために、一時的な使用のためにその場しのぎのサージカルマスクを着用することをお勧めします。
パンデミックの際に一時的に使用するのに十分な臨時のサージカルマスクを住民に提供するために、洗えるサージカルマスクを自己縫合するための以下の縫製手順が用意されています。

2再利用可能なサージカルマスクの縫製手順
       以下の資料が必要です。
1. 2つの長さ90 cmと2 cmの幅の布ストリップ（ボイルプルーフコットン）
2. 2つの長さ17 cm、幅2 cmの布ストリップ（ボイルプルーフコットン）
3.長さ15 cmの細くて柔軟なワイヤー（手工芸ワイヤー、パイプクリーナー、クランプワイヤーなど）
冷凍バッグ）
4.通気性があり、ボイルプルーフで、透過性のある綿生地で作られた17cm x 34cmの大きな布（例：
布おむつ、Tシャツ生地、薄手の綿布）
呼吸の透過性のテスト：
二重の布を取る
口と鼻の周りをしっかりと閉じます
吸い込み、吐き出す
大きな呼吸抵抗がなくても吸入および吐き出しが可能な場合、その素材はフェイスマスクとして適しています。

=通気性のあるボイルプルーフのコットン生地（布おむつ、Tシャツなど）
=ボイルプルーフコットン生地
=鼻の領域に固定するためのワイヤー（例：手芸ワイヤー、パイプクリーナー）

17 x 34 cmの大きな布に印を付けて切り抜きます
  布を半分に折り、アイロンをかける。
  布にアイロンをかけます3均等に分布した折り目（折り目深さ約2 cm）。

  長さ90 cm、幅2 cmのストリップ（ヘッドバンド）を2つ、長さ17 cm、幅2 cmのストリップ（ボーダー）を2つ切り取ります。
多分国境を整えます。
  4つのストリップすべての布を半分に折り、アイロンをかけます。

上部と下部の布を枠に挿入します。
  ボーダーの上部にワイヤーを挿入します。
  ワイヤーの周りに境界線を折ります

   ピンでボーダーを固定して縫製を開始します。
アイロンをかけた折り目が付いた布を両側のヘッドバンドに挿入します。
  ヘッドバンドを固定して縫う。

  3再利用可能なサージカルマスクの手入れとクリーニング
再利用可能なサージカルマスクは乾燥した場所に保管してください。
再使用可能なサージカルマスクは、初めて使用する前に洗ってください。 使用後は、再利用可能なサージカルマスクを慎重に取り外し、ヘッドバンド以外は触れないようにしてください。 マスクを外した後は手を洗ってください！
使用済みのサージカルマスクは、使用後、または少なくとも1日1回は洗浄する必要があります。 それらは洗濯機で90°Cで洗浄するか、沸騰水でストーブ上で調理することができます（5分）。 その後、再利用可能なサージカルマスクを乾燥させる必要があります。
4免責事項
エッセン市は、その場しのぎのサージカルマスクの有効性、製造、または適切な使用について責任を負わないことを具体的に指摘します。 生命、身体、または健康への傷害に起因するエッセン市に対する損害の請求は、ユーザーまたはそれぞれの取引相手に関わらず、除外されます。
その場しのぎのサージカルマスクの製造/使用は、あなた自身の責任でのみ行われます。
いずれの場合も、ロバートコッホ研究所（ドイツ）または各国の当局の衛生規則に従う必要があることが指摘されています
