Wearing a simple cloth face covering is recommended to slow the spread of COVID-19 and is essential to reopening Montana. When wearing your face covering in public make sure to:
- Continue to practice social distancing.
- Cover both your nose and mouth.
- Avoid touching or playing with the covering.
- Wash your hands before putting your covering on and after taking it off.
- Remove your mask from the ear loops or ties – not at its center.
- Wash coverings at home immediately after each use.
