CLEVELAND — In a post on their Facebook page, the Cleveland Clinic has shared a list of helpful tips on how to wear a face mask in public and why it is so important.
Wearing a face mask can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by covering coughs or sneezes. And while they won't prevent you from breathing in respiratory droplets which carry the virus, they may help protect the people around you if you're asymptomatic.
Wearing a mask can also prevent you from touching your face.
Lastly, if everyone wears a mask, it could help lower the spread of the virus, as masks are also visual reminders to practice social distancing.
