California Public Health Officials Release Guidance Requiring Californians to Wear Face Coverings in Most Settings Outside the Home

Orange County Health Officer’s Orders & Recommendations

You must wear face coverings when in higher-risk situations, especially indoors. Face Coverings Help Reduce the Spread of COVID-19.

A face cover is a piece of fabric such as cotton, silk or linen that covers the entire nose and mouth.  They can be handmade using everyday items such as bandanas, scarfs, T-shirts or towels.

It is important to note that a face covering is not a commercially produced “mask” such as an N-95 or surgical masks, which should be reserved for healthcare providers to treat patients during the COVID-19 emergency.  Commercially produced masks are not recommended by the Orange County Health Care Agency and the California Department of Public Health for use as a face covering at this time.
