Masking is a critical public health tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19, and it is important to remember that any mask is better than no mask. To protect yourself and others from COVID-19, CDC continues to recommend that you wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently. We recommend speaking to your healthcare provider to determine which mask is best for you. Remember: the most effective mask is the one you will wear PROPERLY and CONSISTENTLY. Masks should be worn indoors in public spaces, around those whose vaccine status is unknown, and anywhere they are required. For more information, please click here.
