Recent studies have shown that the novel coronavirus can spread between people in close proximity—for example, through speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recommended wearing cloth face coverings in public settings, especially when social distancing is difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) and in areas of significant community-based transmission.
