Face masks
Masks, particularly well-fitting, high-quality masks such as N95s or KN95s, remain an important tool in helping to limit the spread of COVID-19. Masks are especially important for people in the following groups and their close contacts:
- 65 years and older
- with certain underlying health conditions that put them at increased risk for severe disease
- immunocompromised
- unvaccinated
- feeling sick
Children under age 2 years should not wear masks.
Masks are recommended in indoor public spaces and especially in:
- Healthcare and medical facilities, including hospitals, outpatient, dental facilities, and pharmacies
- Long-term care settings
Any organization may require you to wear a mask. Thank you for respecting people’s choices to continue to wear a mask.
