Results: When the answers of the participants are examined, it is seen that 90% of the participants need to change a surgical mask, 31.4% double masks, 46.3% need to change masks within the day and 67.2% warn those who do not wear a mask. 75.9% of the same respondents gave "always" feedback to the statement "I use the mask to protect my health", 76.2% "always" to the statement "I use the mask to protect the health of the people around me". Finally, 48% of the participants stated that the radical extension in the Covid-19 epidemic process increased their sensitivity to mask use, and 34.3% stated that they could continue to use masks after the pandemic process is over.
