Types of Masks If you’re unvaccinated, there are many types of masks you can use to protect yourself and others from getting and spreading COVID-19. When choosing a mask, choose one that fits snugly. A cloth or disposable mask should be worn anytime you are indoors or outdoors with people who don’t live with you. Some masks are designed and tested to ensure they perform at a consistent level to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These masks are labeled to tell you what standard they meet.

	Choosing Safer Activities Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance. If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, find a vaccine.

Safer Activities

Playing Sports If you’re unvaccinated and playing sports, stay home if you have tested positive for COVID-19 or are waiting on test results, are showing COVID-19 symptoms, or have had a close contact with a person who has tested positive for or who has symptoms of COVID-19. Bring your own equipment, like gloves, head gear, helmets, water bottles, and bats, if possible, to limit sharing equipment. Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from other players when possible. Also, Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others. Clean or sanitize your hands before and after practices, games, and sharing equipment. Tell a coach or staff member if you don’t feel well.
