- Everyone 2 years old and older should wear masks in public.
- Masks should be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially around people who don’t live with you.
- Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before putting on your mask.
- Wear your mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin.
- Fit the mask snugly against the sides of your face, slipping the loops over your ears or tying the strings behind your head.
- If you have to continually adjust your mask, that means it doesn’t fit properly. You should find a different mask type or brand.
- Make sure you can breathe easily.
- Store your used mask safely to keep it clean between uses.
- Wash your cloth mask regularly, preferably in a washing machine.
