Safety measures

For now, CDC recommends everyone to wear masks in public; as social distancing actions are difficult to maintain. In this case, doing this could help slow the spread of the virus; from both infected and by those who do not exhibit symptoms. Lastly, they urge all citizens to practice safe removal of face coverings. You can do it by not touching eyes, nose, and mouth, and wash hands immediately after removing the cover.
