Improve how your mask protects you
|
|
Correct and consistent mask use is a critical step everyone can take to prevent contracting and spreading COVID-19. Masks work best when everyone wears them, but not all masks provide the same protection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that advise when choosing a mask, look at how well it fits, how well it filters the air, and how many layers it has.
