Masks should be worn when you are sick to prevent spreading viruses through coughs and sneezes. Masks also protect others when they are sick by blocking inhaled germs. Properly worn masks provide dual protection by containing droplets from the wearer and filtering incoming air for both healthy and sick individuals.

When You Are Sick When you are sick and coughing or sneezing, tiny droplets of saliva and mucus carrying airborne viruses are expelled into the air. These viruses can spread to those around you and make them sick too.
When Others Are Sick
Did you know that masks work both ways? A mask can also help protect you against germs. If you have a weakened immune system such as when you are recovering from illness, a mask can help to prevent you from inhaling harmful germs and developing further complications.
