As coronavirus cases continue to rise across the nation, we all have the power to do more to keep ourselves and other people safe. This means following public health recommendations, wearing a face mask in public spaces, observing six-feet social distancing, and frequently washing our hands for 20 seconds with soap and water.
The public health experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) specifically recommend wearing a face mask in public settings to significantly decrease the spread of COVID-19. You can read about the scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of face masks here.
With this in mind, Congressman Jared Huffman is sponsoring a Homemade Mask Contest open to anyone in the Second Congressional District.
“I want to see everyone’s creative skills and personal style deployed to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community and state,” he said.
The winning entry will be displayed proudly as a featured post on Huffman’s social media channels for all of California to see.
