How to Properly Wear a Face Mask The CDC now advises <br />everyone to wear a face <br />mask in public to prevent <br />the spread of COVID-19. Face masks should fit snugly on the face, secured by ear loops or ties. They should allow for <br />unrestricted breathing. Cloth face masks <br />should be able to <br />be machine washed <br />without damage. People with glasses may have an issue with masks fogging up<br />their eyewear. To solve this, simply place a folded tissue inside the top of your mask. At this time, the CDC is recommending <br />washable cloth masks, as medical-grade <br />masks are in short supply.
