Masks should fully cover the nose and mouth. AUSTIN, Texas - The best form of protection from COVID-19 is to stay at home, but we all need to leave our houses occasionally for groceries and other essentials.
If you're leaving the house to go to a grocery store, you should wear a mask and gloves if possible. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that all Americans who are leaving the house and coming into contact with other people wear masks and gloves.
The CDC released guidelines regarding the public use of fabric face coverings earlier this week. The measures are meant to act as an additional protective measure to prevent asymptomatic carriers from spreading the virus.
