WHEN SHOULD I WASH MY MASK?
A cloth mask should be washed each day after use. However, if during the day
your mask is visibly dirty or wet, do not continue wearing your mask; the mask needs to be washed. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth at all times and store used cloth face masks in a plastic bag until you have an opportunity to wash them. Re-using a cloth mask without washing is risky because it can become contaminated or may not be as effective in protecting you.
