Under the revised Safer at Home order, everyone is now required to wear a cloth face covering while inside an essential business and when they are interacting with others who are not members of their household in both public and private.
A cloth face covering is anything that covers the nose and mouth. It can be secured to the head with ties or straps, or simply wrapped around the lower face. A cloth face covering may be factory-made or sewn by hand or can be improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweatshirts, or towels.
