Cleveland Clinic’s Mask suggestions

Cleveland Clinic’s Mask suggestions are from one of the premier Hospital systems in the world.

Why do we encourage masks?

Masks play a key role in controlling the spread of the coronavirus in our communities. They help prevent people who don’t know they’re infected from potentially exposing others to the virus.

 

Do caregivers wear masks?

Yes, all of our Cleveland Clinic caregivers also wear masks. Their masks protect you, and yours protects them.

 

Is social distancing still important?

Yes. Masks don’t cancel the need to practice social distancing, but they do provide an extra layer of protection.

 

As we all resume some of our pre-pandemic activities, we must not take our eyes off of COVID-19. When you’re considering whether an activity is safe to do, it comes down to three main factors: time, space and people. Carefully weigh how much time you’ll be spending there, how enclosed or ventilated the space is, and whether the people you’ll be interacting with are practicing the same safety measures.
