The CDC recently recommended the use of cloth face coverings, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission (e.g. supermarkets, pharmacies).
Cloth face coverings should:
- fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
- be secured with ties or ear loops
- include multiple layers of fabric
- allow for breathing without restriction
- be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to the shape
