In its news alert, MCPDH went on to remind people about the best ways to prevent the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, including staying home when possible, social distancing by at least 6 feet when you have to be out, wearing cloth face masks when you’re out, and washing your hands well and often.

“Research shows that people without symptoms can infect others and that the virus may spread when people speak or breathe — not just when they cough or sneeze,” MCPDH explained.

Your cloth face mask should fit snugly and be secured by ties or ear loops. Do not touch your face when you take it off and be sure to wash it regularly in hot water.

“The cloth face mask doesn’t replace the need for frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, or the practice of physical distancing,” MCDPH said. The agency also advised against putting masks on children younger than 2, anybody who has trouble breathing, and anybody who cannot take the mask off without help.
