Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wear a face mask when out in public?
Yes, you are required to wear a mask or face covering in public. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also recommends mask-wearing while continuing to maintain social distance. For more information, visit the CDC website or watch a video explaining how to make a homemade mask.
How can I protect myself and others?
Good personal hygiene is the best defense against COVID-19 and other flu-like illnesses. Please follow these preventive steps recommended by the CDC:
- Limit close contact with individuals who are sick
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If you are unable to wash your hands, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
