FACILITY GUIDELINES & FAQ
How to Select and Wear a Mask
For help understanding how masks should fit, we follow these guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- Fit snugly against the sides of your face and don’t have gaps
- Completely cover your nose and mouth
- Have two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric
- Allow you to breathe without restriction
Please do not wear masks that:
- Have exhalation valves or vents because they allow virus particles to escape
- Are made of fabric that makes it hard to breathe, for example, vinyl
- Are intended for healthcare workers, including N95 respirators or surgical masks
If you wear a gaiter, please wear a gaiter with two layers or fold it to make two layers.
If you wear a face shield, please wear a mask as well. The CDC does not recommend using face shields as a substitute for masks and so they must be worn together in our facilities.
