Mid-Columbia Medical Center’s Infection Prevention Coordinator says there are options for people who find some face coverings uncomfortable. Connie Jubitz says some of the possibilities for face coverings include trying a looser covering, a scarf, a bandana, or neck gaiters that sit over the top of the nose. Jubitz points out the face coverings are one tool in the list of things for people to do to help prevent COVID-19 spread, including social distancing, avoiding crowds in public, and washing your hands. She also emphasized people need to stay home when they are exhibiting symptoms.
