The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) does not recommend healthy people wear a face mask to protect from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
Face masks are only recommended for:
• People who already have symptoms of COVID-19
• Healthcare workers who are near someone who’s sick
• Caregivers for someone who’s sick at home or at a healthcare facility
If you have severe symptoms and need in-person care, please call before arriving at the urgent care, doctor’s office or emergency department. To help protect other patients, you’ll be provided a mask upon arrival.
