Protect the ones you love – mask up!
Wearing a face mask isn’t comfortable, but it’s essential to slowing the spread of the virus in our community and protecting those who are most vulnerable. Cloth face coverings prevent those who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic from spreading the virus to others.
So, keep on wearing them. Face masks are our best tool to fight COVID-19. #MaskUpPimaCounty
