DYK? COVID-19 can be spread by people who are asymptomatic (read: not showing symptoms) and don’t know they’re infected. To keep this virus from spreading further, the CDC recommends everyone 2+ years of age wear a mask in public settings and around those who don’t live in their household, especially when social distancing is hard to maintain.

Lexington Medical Center agrees. With cases exceeding 100K in South Carolina (and deaths exceeding 2,000), the hospital recently released a video encouraging viewers to protect their family, friends + neighbors by wearing a mask.
