Wear a mask when you’re in public to help slow the spread of COVID-19. When selecting a mask, you have many choices. Avoid masks that are made of materials that make it too hard to breathe. Also avoid masks with valves or vents that allow virus particles to escape and masks that should be saved for healthcare workers. Wear cloth masks with two or more layers to help protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

Wondering when to use a mask? Wear a mask when you are in a public setting, especially when it is difficult to stay 6 feet away from others not living in your household. You should even wear a mask in a restaurant or rideshare.

However, if everyone in your household is healthy, you do not need to wear a mask at home or in your personal vehicle. For more information on COVID-19 and masks, visit: https://bit.ly/HowToWearCFCexternal icon
