- In any indoor public space
- While exercising in an indoor public space
- While you are in a public pool area, but not swimming
- On public transportation or when ride-sharing
- When waiting in line

- Outdoors, if you are unable to stay 6 feet away from others
- While talking to servers/hosts, waiting to order or for food, or talking to others at the table while not actively eating or drinking
Q: When can you take off your mask?
A: There are times when it’s okay to take your mask off when you’re away from home, such as:
- When actively eating or drinking at a restaurant
- If a hearing-impaired person needs to read your lips
- When you’re not sharing a common area, room or enclosed space with others

You should replace the mask as soon as you can after these activities to reduce the risk of infection.
Q: What kind of mask should you wear?
A: Cloth mask or face covering: Cloth face coverings should fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face, include multiple layers of fabric, allow for breathing without restriction, and be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape. Face coverings need to cover the nose and mouth at all times and should remain in place until taken off safely.

Cómo reutilizar de forma segura una máscara de tela
¿Es seguro reutilizar una máscara de tela? No es ideal, pero las máscaras de tela se pueden volver a utilizar durante todo el día si no están dañadas, húmedas o sucias. Pero antes de hacerlo, lea estos consejos sobre cómo reutilizar de forma segura su máscara de tela.
- Después de lavarse las manos con agua y jabón o un desinfectante de manos a base de alcohol, quítese la máscara tirando de las corbatas o los lazos auditivos lejos de las orejas.
- Doble la máscara por la mitad para que la superficie exterior esté hacia adentro (para que la superficie exterior contaminada no entre en contacto con nada durante el almacenamiento).
- Coloque la máscara en una bolsa limpia y sellable (por ejemplo, bolsa de papel) hasta que esté lista para usarla de nuevo el mismo día. No deje una mascarilla que haya absorbido la humedad de la respiración en una bolsa o recipiente no transpirable durante más de una hora. Guarde siempre la máscara en un lugar limpio. Nunca lo guarde en un bolso o bolsillo.
- Lávese las manos con agua y jabón o con un desinfectante de manos a base de alcohol.
- Para volver a aplicar la máscara, primero lávese las manos con agua y jabón o un desinfectante de manos a base de alcohol y, a continuación, abra la bolsa de almacenamiento de la máscara.
- Sujete la máscara por los lazos elásticos de los oídos para extraerla de la bolsa, y colóquela de nuevo sobre la nariz y la boca y fíjela debajo de la barbilla.
- Lávese las manos con agua y jabón o con un desinfectante de manos a base de alcohol.
- Lávese la máscara tan pronto como pueda.
