You should wear a face mask only if you are sick
Well, in case you did not know this before, these face masks won’t protect you from the virus, but people who are already sick should wear one to avoid spreading the virus.
According to Robyn Gershon, MHS, DrPH, a clinical professor of epidemiology at New York University’s School of Global Public Health, “These are hard to wear all the time, especially, one could imagine, if you are sick, so the best thing to do is to keep this potentially infected household member as isolated from the rest of the household as possible. But when entering their room, say, for instance, to change linens or to help them wash up, then both of you should wear a face mask.”
