Keep that mask on
Wearing a mask works. It works to slow the spread of COVID-19 and it works to slow the spread of other viruses, too. The director of the CDC released a press release explaining exactly why they work. But essentially, know that you become sick when an infected individual releases droplets – via breathing, sneezing, coughing, or laughing – and those droplets make it into your mouth, nose, or eyes. When others wear masks, the chances they spread the virus lessen. Furthermore, when you’re wearing a mask, the chances that infected droplets from another person make it into your mouth or nose lessen.
