Wearing masks helps slow the spread of COVID-19, along
with distancing ourselves at least 6 feet from others (which is about 2-arms' length), hand washing and avoiding crowds.
A person that wears a mask when out in public, and wears it correctly (covering BOTH their nose and mouth) protects others from their respiratory droplets - this is how wearing masks helps to slow the spread of COVID-19.
A person can infect others, even if they don't have symptoms (asymptomatic).
There is no cure and no vaccine yet for COVID-19 (also known as SARS-CoV-2 and coronavirus disease).
So, it’s important not to let our guard down, work together to protect each other, and continue with safe behaviors to protect ourselves, our families, friends and communities.
