How to Wear a Face Mask

Wearing a face mask is an important way to protect yourself from the spread of COVID-19. If you are sick, wearing a mask will help to prevent you from spreading the virus to others. If you are not sick, wearing a mask will help to protect you from getting sick.

Here are some tips for wearing a face mask correctly:

* Make sure your mask covers both your nose and mouth.

* Fit your mask snugly against your face. There should be no gaps between the mask and your face.

* Secure your mask with ear loops or ties.

* Do not touch your mask while wearing it.

* If your mask becomes wet or soiled, replace it with a new one.

* Wash your hands before putting on or taking off your mask.

Here are some additional tips for wearing a face mask:

* If you have difficulty breathing, talk to your doctor about whether you should wear a face mask.

* If you have a beard, you may need to trim it in order to wear a face mask properly.

* If you wear glasses, you may need to adjust your mask to prevent it from fogging up your lenses.

By following these tips, you can help to protect yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19.
