Why is Keuka College recommending that employees wear a face covering?

The New York Forward plan and the Centers for Disease Control recommend cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.  Face coverings are not required for general office work and will not be provided to employees for whom they are not essential.

Cloth face coverings are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators, which have been designated for healthcare workers and other first responders.

Even with a face covering, you should continue to engage in social distancing.
