• DO wear the mask or cloth face covering whenever you go out in public.

• DO ensure your mask has multiple layers of tightly woven fabric and that you can breathe through it.

• DO make sure your mask fits snugly against your face and covers your nose and mouth with no gaps (even a tiny gap could let in particles).

• DO wash your hands before you put on your mask, every time you touch it and immediately after removing it.

• DO know the proper way to put on and remove the mask.

  • To put it on, grasp the mask and pinch it at the ear loops or grasp the upper ties. For ear-loop style masks, secure ear loops behind the ears. For tie back style masks, secure upper ties first behind your head, then secure lower ties behind your head. Always put the same side of a reused mask against your face.

  • Remove the mask slowly and carefully without touching the outside of it or your eyes, nose or mouth. Remove ear loop masks by holding the ear loops. Remove tie back masks by untying lower ties first and upper ties last; ensure the ties don’t fall into clean interior side of mask. If you plan to reuse the mask, place it in a bag until you can launder it.

• DO continue to practice good social distancing by staying at home, avoiding contact with others, and staying at least 6 feet away from others when you go out in public.

• DO consider wearing a mask at home if you live and interact with an older adult or someone who is immunocompromised.

• DO wash your cloth mask after each use with regular detergent and warm/hot water, then dry it thoroughly in the dryer.

DON’Ts

• DON’T put a mask on a young child under age 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing or is unconscious, incapacitated or unable to remove the cloth face covering without assistance.

• DON’T use medical-grade masks, which should be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical responders per guidance from the CDC.

• DON’T push your mask down on your chin to eat or drink. Remove it completely, perform hand hygiene, and then put it back on snugly when finished.

• DON’T wear a mask that hasn’t been cleaned thoroughly, or that is soiled, torn, saturated, damaged or has any distortions in shape or form.

• DON’T let the mask provide a false sense of security. You can still get infected by touching your eyes (which aren’t covered by a face mask).

• DON’T neglect to continue taking other preventive measures, including staying 6 feet away from others, paying attention to where your hands are, and washing your hands often.

• DON’T go out when you feel sick, have a fever or are coughing or sneezing.
