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:
Make sure it fits well & doesn't gape at the sides
Wash your hands before putting it on & after taking it off
Wear masks for a short time
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'Ts:
Don't re-use masks or share them with others
Don't wear a mask that is damp or soiled
Don't touch your face while wearing a mask
Don'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)
