Wearing Masks and Social Distancing to Protect Other People
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you should cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when in public, or when you are around other people.
You DO NOT need to use a face mask meant for a healthcare worker.
A cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing. Keep six feet of distance between yourself and other people. How to wear a cloth face cover.
