Cover. Your. Nose.

Thu., Feb. 11, 2021

People! What part of cover your mouth AND your nose do you not understand?

Think about where the swab goes for COVID testing: your nose! If your nose is uncovered and you have the virus, you’re spreading it. If you don’t have the virus, you are allowing a direct pathway for the virus to enter. If your glasses fog up while wearing a mask, that means the mask isn’t fitting well enough to block the virus.

We need to get kids back to school & businesses to reopen. Do your part! Wear your mask properly! Cover your nose!
