Such a mask with these temperatures creates a gigantic greenhouse effect in your face. So how nice is it to wet your mouth cap for some extra cooling? But don't do it anyway, and for this reason…
Yves Stevens, spokesperson for the Belgian crisis center says in Het Laatste Nieuws that the quality of the mask is much worse by making it wet or putting it in the freezer.

“We have all experienced in recent days that wearing a mask is not pleasant with such high temperatures. But just because it's hot and uncomfortable to wear a mask doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.”
But how can you ensure that you do not melt behind such a mouth cap? The Crisis Center has a tip:preferably choose a surgical disposable mask or a mask made of light fabric. These masks allow higher ventilation.
And which is also important to replace or wash your mouth cap regularly, because you sweat so much.
