Donning a face mask when venturing outside your home is the new norm. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says face coverings help slow the transmission of COVID-19 by people who unknowingly have the virus.
“When they breathe, speak, cough or sneeze, virus particles will be trapped in their mask, protecting other people from being infected,” said Dr. Jennifer Frank, chief medical officer at ThedaCare. “Respiratory droplets can spread the virus that causes COVID-19.”
The CDC recommends those over the age of 2 wear a mask when outside of the home.
