Proper Protection and Fit
Cloth face coverings and disposable masks are appropriate for the general public. Face shields are typically worn in conjunction with a face mask; however, if you are unable to wear a face covering, a face shield with a drape on the bottom edge is permitted.
Face covering should be secured with ties or ear loops and fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face.
Face shield should fit securely but comfortably around the head. Face shield should include hard plastic.
Face covering should include multiple layers of fabric.
