When out, a mask is the best protection for all of us. A cloth face covering should:
⢠Reach above the nose, below the chin, and completely cover the mouth and nostrils
⢠Fit snugly against the sides of the face
⢠Be made of multiple layers of fabric that you can still breathe through
⢠Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damaging the material or shape
⢠Face coverings can be made from bandanas and scarves as well |
