I get a lot of questions about masks. #COVID19AB spreads by droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, talking & touching contaminated surfaces then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Masks help prevent those infected, but not yet sick, from spreading the virus to others. (1/4)
Face mask DOs:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="White heavy check mark" aria-label="Emoji: White heavy check mark">Wash your hands before putting it on & after taking it off
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="White heavy check mark" aria-label="Emoji: White heavy check mark">Wear masks for a short time
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="White heavy check mark" aria-label="Emoji: White heavy check mark">Carry a bag with clean masks & a bag that can be used to store used masks until they can be washed at home (2/4)
Face mask DON& #39;Ts:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark">Don& #39;t re-use masks or share them with others
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark">Don& #39;t wear a mask that is damp or soiled
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark">Don& #39;t touch your face while wearing a mask
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark">Don& #39;t move or adjust a mask while it is on your face (3/4)
I want to emphasize that wearing a mask does not replace other guidelines like regular hand washing, staying home when sick & not touching your face. Please do what you can to protect yourself and others. (4/4)
