Just remember to try not to touch anything after handling your mask until you've had a chance to wash or sanitise your hands again. It's designed to gather up any Covid you'd breath in or out so ironically is one of the worst things you can touch in terms of risk of spreading infection. (Personally, since I work at home, I tend to just leave my mask on fulltime when I'm out, unless I actively need to take it off for food or water or something, just so I don't have to mess around with the administration of keeping my hands clean while taking it on and off and making sure it's properly seated after I put it back on. Wearing a mask for hours on end isn't my favourite thing but I don't find it too unpleasant, so I can see why people who really hate it would want to deal with faffing around putting it on and off.)
