Protecting Others and Reducing the Spread of Covid-19 with Cloth Face Masks

COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Studies on infection control report that these droplets usually travel around 6 feet (about two arms lengths). CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, farm supply stores, and gas stations.

This resource was created through a collaborative effort with our organization and the Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety and the Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health and Safety to emphasize the importance of wearing a cloth face covering to protect others & reduce the spread of COVID-19.
