To reduce your risk of getting COVID-19, consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor public settings, such as on public transit, at large events, and when shopping in crowded stores. Consider wearing a mask if you are at high risk for severe COVID-19 or are around others who are. Always wear a mask if you're sick and unable to separate from others, and for 10 days after you have COVID-19. Always wear a mask for 10 days after being exposed to someone who has COVID-19.
