Masks On, Maryland.
Masks protect us. They can also free us to do more of the things we like, or to simply do the things we must do, like work and take care of each other. The more we wear masks whenever we’re together, the sooner we can get past COVID-19, together.
Everyone should wear a face mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household.
Cover your mouth and nose with a mask or face covering when around others.
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
Your mask protects others and their masks protect you.
Please wear a mask and maintain social distance in public spaces like grocery stores, pharmacies and public transit.
People who feel healthy can spread COVID-19; you could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
We all must wear masks to safely and fully reopen the State of Maryland.
COVID-19 is transmitted by droplets emitted when people speak, cough or sneeze.
Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. A mask or face covering is not a substitute for social distancing.
The virus is thought to spread mainly person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
