Face masks

Face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus. Masks should be snug over the nose, mouth and chin, with no gaps. Here are rules to follow. Place your mask over your mouth and nose and chin. Tie it behind your head or use ear loops. Make sure it's snug. Don't touch your mask while wearing it. If you accidentally touch your mask, wash or sanitize your hands. If your mask becomes wet or dirty, switch to a clean one. Put the used mask in a sealable bag until you can get rid of it or wash it. Remove the mask by untying it or lifting off the ear loops without touching the front of the mask or your face. Wash your hands immediately after removing your mask. Regularly wash cloth masks in the washing machine or by hand. (They can be washed Don't put masks on children under 2 years of age. Don't use face masks as a substitute for physical distancing.

Will students follow the above rules?
