Guide to face coverings
More public settings require the use of cloth face coverings. Cloth face coverings help people who may have coronavirus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. These are just one tool and not a substitute for physical distancing. There is a proper way to put face coverings on and remove them.
- Wash your hands or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before putting on your face covering.
- Make sure the covering is snug but that you can still breathe without restriction. Cover your nose and mouth and make sure there are no gaps.
- Never put your face coverings in the microwave to disinfect them. Some face coverings contain metal, and cloth can overheat and catch fire. Laundering your face coverings between use is enough to sanitize them.
-
When removing your face covering, be careful not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Wash your hands immediately.
