When do I wear a mask?
Jefferson County Public Health staff recommend wearing a mask in all indoor settings when:
- You’re sick
- Those around you are sick
- The indoor space you’re in is crowded and not well ventilated
- You care for people who are vulnerable to severe illness, such as those 65 and older or who are immunocompromised.
Anyone who manages a publicly-accessible space may require members of the public to wear a mask. Please continue to respect the rules of the room you’re in.
