One of the best ways to demonstrate your care for others during this time is by wearing a mask when you are in public places such as stores, restaurants and parties, where social distancing is hard to maintain.
Cloth face masks are proven to limit coronavirus spread. They are meant to protect other people in case you are infected, and they also help you from inhaling the virus.
They should be worn over the mouth and nose the entire time you’re out.
Tips for wearing a cloth face mask:
- Ensure it fits snugly around the face.
- Wash your hands before putting it on and after removing it.
- Do not touch the mask while wearing.
- Handle the mask by its straps.
- Wash the face mask regularly.
