We wear masks to do our part in stopping the spread of COVID-19. Here are a few Getty staff with their fav face masks.
According to the CDC, your cloth face covering should:
✔️ Reach above the nose, below the chin, and completely cover the mouth and nostrils
✔️ Fit snugly against the sides of the face
✔️ Be made of multiple layers of fabric that you can still breathe through
✔️ Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damaging the material or shape
Do not buy surgical masks to use as a face covering. Those are intended for healthcare workers and first responders. Many items that you may already have in your home can be used to create face coverings.
And remember, please practice social distancing by putting space between yourself and others, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, clean and disinfect frequently used surfaces, and stay home if you are sick.
