The CDC has advised Americans to wear face masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus, and around the world, people are doing the same.

For your mask to be most effective, it& #39;s important that you wear it correctly.

Here are the dos and don’ts. https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
DON’T wear the mask below your nose. http://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
DON’T leave your chin exposed. http://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
DON’T wear your mask loosely with gaps on the sides. http://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
DON’T wear your mask so it covers just the tip of your nose. http://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
DON’T push your mask under your chin to rest on your neck. http://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
DO wear your mask so it comes all the way up, close to the bridge of your nose, and all the way down under your chin. Tighten the loops or ties so it’s snug around your face, without gaps. http://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0 ">https://nyti.ms/3e2o6p0&q...
Wearing a face mask takes some getting used to. So if you& #39;re wearing one, try not to fidget with your mask and make sure to leave it on.
