>Using a mask incorrectly however, may actually increase the risk of transmission, rather than reduce it. Read your link. Proper usage isn't hard to understand. If you touch your mask with your dirty hands it might increase the chance that you breathe in the germs that were on your hands. Don't put a dirty mask on your face. Don't touch your mask with dirty hands. Notice that these messages are different than "masks are a mind-control conspiracy" and "masks are ineffective." |

> A mask is NOT a substitute for social distancing.
> Masks should completely cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly against the sides of face without gaps. [People with beards should closely trim their beard or wear two masks]
> Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol after touching or removing your mask.
> Not recommended: Masks that do not fit properly, masks made from fabric that is loosely woven, masks with one layer, masks with exhalation valves or vents.
