Beginning Friday, June 26, at 5 p.m., face coverings will be required in public places, indoor or outdoor, where distancing six feet from other people who are not members of the same household or residence is not possible. A cloth face covering may be factory-made, sewn by hand, or improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweatshirts, or towels.

The CDC offers the following guidelines for wearing face coverings:

• Wash your hands before putting on your face covering
• Put it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin
• Try to fit it snugly against the sides of your face
• Make sure you can breathe easily
