What You Need to Know About COVID-19 and Wearing a Mask

COVID-19 keeps changing, but one thing that remains the same is the need for accessible information about what we can do to keep safe. This is why the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) made this resource in English and Spanish with accompanying videos.

“What you need to know about COVID-19 and wearing a mask” is about the different kinds of masks and why it’s important to wear them. Check it out for answers to questions like:

• Why should I wear a mask?
• What are the different types of masks?
• Can I wear my mask more than one time?
• How can I make my masks safer?

And more!
