Follow guidelines. The President of the United States has released guidelines designed to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Wear Face Coverings. Per the CDC, cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings. The spread of COVID-19 can be reduced when cloth face coverings are used along with other preventive measures, including social distancing, frequent handwashing, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
