Use and Care of Face Coverings
PUTTING ON A FACE COVERING:
- Wash hands or use hand sanitizer prior to handling the face covering.
- Ensure the face covering fits over the nose and under the chin.
- Situate the face covering properly with nose wire snug against the nose when applicable.
- Tie straps behind the head and neck or loop around the ears.
- Throughout the process: Avoid touching the front of the face covering.
TAKING OFF THE FACE COVERING:
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth when removing the face covering.
- When taking off the face covering, loop your finger into the strap and pull the strap away from the ear, or untie the straps.
- Wash hands immediately after removing.
CARE, STORAGE AND LAUNDERING:
- Keep face coverings stored in a bag when not in use.
- Cloth face coverings should be laundered regularly. Cloth face coverings should be replaced immediately if soiled, damaged (e.g. ripped, punctured) or visibly contaminated.
