The CDC recommends covering your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected even if you do not feel sick.
Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public, for example to the grocery store or to pick up other necessities.
Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.
Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
CDC recommendations are changing frequently. Visit the CDC website for the latest guidance.
