The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) now recommends that cloth masks be worn out in public in situations where social distancing is difficult to maintain. Here’s how to do so safely:
DO
✅ Wash your mask before wearing it the first time
✅ Continue to practice at least 6 feet of social distancing, even with your mask on
✅ Take the mask off from the back or by your ear elastics when you get home, and wash it as soon as possible
✅ Wash your hands after removing the mask
✅ Use a clean mask for each trip
DON’T
❎ Place a mask on children younger than 2
❎ Touch the mask without washing your hands
❎ Play with the mask while wearing it
❎ Take the mask off by the fabric near your mouth and nose
❎ Share masks with others in your household without washing them
❎ Wear a mask if you have trouble breathing or any other condition that would make it difficult to remove without assistance. #DoYourPart #DoYourDistance
