Things you need to know and how to take care of yourself.

Wear a Mask to Protect Yourself and Others (If you have not been vaccinated or still don't feel comfortable in public.)

• Masking is a critical public health tool and it is important to remember that any mask is better than no mask.

• Wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently.

• Wearing a well-fitted mask along with vaccination, self-testing, and physical distancing, helps protect you and others by reducing the chance of spreading COVID-19.
