A: Follow the @cdcgov guidance for the key aspects to look for

(4/5) Q: WHEN and WHERE should I wear a mask?

A: #COVID19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact with one another, ~6ft. You should #WearAMask whenever and wherever you can in public spaces, but ESPECIALLY in places you can’t guarantee #socialdistancing
