Face Masks

Face masks can help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses. They protect you from getting sick and prevent you from passing viruses to other people, even if you don’t feel very ill. When visiting indoor public settings, like crowded grocery stores, or high-risk settings, like retirement homes, please consider your personal risk and the risks to those around. Wear a mask when it feels right for you.

 

Types of masks

A face covering can be a non-medical mask, medical mask, or a respirator. While non-medical masks can help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, medical masks and respirators provide better protection. No matter which type of mask you choose, make sure it fits properly.

How do I make it fit?

It's important to properly wear, fit, remove, and clean or discard your face mask.
