Masks can help prevent the spread of #COVID19 when they are widely used in public. When you wear a mask, you can help protect those around you. When others wear one, they can help protect people around them, incl. you. bit.ly/3ee8iP4 #WearAMask #DoYourPart #WorldMaskWeek

COVID-19: Do Your Part. Wear A Mask.
