Right now, the best way to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 is by wearing a face mask. When you wear a face mask, you reduce the number of droplets you expel into the air during everyday activities such as talking, singing, cheering, yelling, sneezing, etc. These droplets are largely what spreads the COVID-19 virus.
