Recommendation Regarding the Use of Cloth Face
Coverings, Especially in Areas of Significant
Community-Based Transmission CDC continues to
study the spread and effects of the novel
coronavirus across the United States. We now
know from recent studies that a significant
portion of individuals with coronavirus lack
symptoms (asymptomatic) and that even those who
eventually develop symptoms (pre-symptomatic)
can transmit the virus to others before showing
symptoms. This means that the virus can spread
between people interacting in close proximityfor
example, speaking, coughing, or sneezingeven if
those people are not exhibiting symptoms. In
light of this new evidence, CDC recommends
wearing cloth face coverings in public settings
where other social distancing measures are
difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and
pharmacies) especially in areas of significant
community-based transmission.

It is critical to emphasize that maintaining
6-feet social distancing remains important to
slowing the spread of the virus. CDC is
additionally advising the use of simple cloth
face coverings to slow the spread of the virus
and help people who may have the virus and do not
know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth
face coverings fashioned from household items or
made at home from common materials at low cost
can be used as an additional, voluntary public
health measure. The cloth face coverings
recommended are not surgical masks or N-95
respirators. Those are critical supplies that
must continue to be reserved for healthcare
workers and other medical first responders, as
recommended by current CDC guidance. Additional
