Knot And Tuck Mask-Wearing Method

It’s no surprise that wearing a mask helps to slow the spread of #COVID_19. However, the CDC released some new recommendations for wearing masks to help protect you and others from getting infected by creating a more secure fit to your face.

Method #1: Double-masking
Wear a cloth mask over a surgical mask. This helps to reduce transmission of the virus.

Method #2: Knot & Tuck
1. Fold a surgical mask in half (top to bottom).
2. Knot the ear loops.
3. Make sure the knot is as close to the mask as possible.
4. Tuck in the fabric of the mask, flattening the material close to the face.
5. Adjust to reduce gaps in the mask’s fabric.
