‍

o If you said no to either of those questions, PLEASE know how important it is to cover your face.

‍

o It can make the difference of getting sick or getting someone else sick; you can save your life and others’ lives; and it’ll help us continue to reopen – or not.

‍

o We have to protect ourselves and each other and masks will help us do that.
