THE USE OF FACE COVERINGS NOW RECOMMENDED

County health officials are recommending that people use face coverings when leaving home to conduct essential business. Face coverings should cover the mouth and nose and include homemade cloth masks, bandanas, handkerchiefs, and neck gaiters. However, staying home, social distancing, and frequent hand-washing are more effective ways to combat the spread of COVID-19, and face masks are not a substitute.

County health officials urge people not to use surgical or N95 masks as those should be preserved for healthcare workers and first responders.

Masks should be washed at least daily in hot water with detergent. Hands should be washed or sanitized after touching the face mask.
