If you use a mask, you’re protecting yourself as well as others from COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated in an update on Tuesday.

Why it matters: ” Adopting universal masking policies can help avert future lockdowns, especially if integrated with other non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, hand hygiene, and sufficient ventilation,” per the CDC.

Go deeper: Universal mask usage could save 130,000 lives in U.S.
