“When the situation changes, the rulebook changes,” said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, Riverside County public health officer. “We’re seeing our numbers increasing even sooner than we predicted and that means our strategy must change too.
He continued, "Covering your face doesn’t change the orders everyone must abide by to stay home as much as possible and maintain social distancing, but it’s an extra layer of protection that I think we need to add.”
Good ways to keep your face covered include using a mask, bandana, scarves, small towels or neck gaiters.
Remember to only leave your house for essential things and continue to frequently wash your hands, practice social distancing and stay home as much as you can to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
