City Update on Coronavirus

Wear a Cloth Face Covering in Public

The City and CDC recommend wearing a cloth face covering in public settings, such as when leaving home for a short period of time to obtain essential goods or services. Recent information indicates that individuals can be contagious before showing symptoms. The primary role of a cloth face covering is to reduce the spread of infectious droplets when someone speaks, coughs, or sneezes, including someone who has COVID-19 but feels well.

Wearing a face covering is not a substitute for existing guidance about social (physical) distancing and frequent handwashing, but a face covering could serve as an additional tool used to protect us from exposure to or spread of COVID-19 when used properly.

Do not purchase respirators or face masks intended for the healthcare setting (including N95 respirators and surgical masks) as they are in short supply and will be increasingly needed to safely provide care for persons with COVID-19.

Acceptable, reusable face covering options for the general public include:

• Bandanas

• Neck gaiters

• Homemade face coverings

• Scarves

• Tightly woven fabric, such as cotton t-shirts and some types of towels

More information on cloth face coverings is available on the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health website.
