"COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or raises their voice... These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Recent studies show that a significant portion of individuals with COVID-19 lack symptoms (are “asymptomatic”) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (are “pre-symptomatic”) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms.
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, CDC recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public settings when around people outside of their household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain" (CDC).
Take the pledge to wear a mask & stop the spread of COVID-19.
Who is Vulnerable to COVID-19?
Older people and those with certain pre-existing conditions appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus, but anyone of any age can be infected by COVID-19 (WHO).
WE ARE ALL VULNERABLE TO COVID-19.
Wearing a cloth face covering helps protects others in case you’re infected, while others wear one to protect you should they be infected (CDC).
COVID-19 is impacting Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color the most.
Factors that contribute to increased risk:
-
Discrimination
-
Healthcare Access & Utilization
-
Occupation
-
Education, income, & wealth gaps
-
Housing
*A state or country will have "pledged" when a resident of that state or country takes the pledge as part of the campaign.
Challenge 2 friends or family members to also get involved and take the pledge!
Wearing a Cloth Face Mask

Wash or sanitize your hands before & after putting on & taking off your mask.

Place your mask over your mouth & nose. Tie it behind your head or use ear loops & make sure it's snug.

Don't touch your mask while wearing it.
-
If your mask becomes wet or dirty, use a clean one.
-
Put the used mask in a sealable bag until you wash it.

Remove the mask by untying it or lifting the ear loops without touching the front of the mask or your face.

Wash your hands immediately after removing the mask.

Regularly wash your mask with soap & water by hand or in the washing machine.
