A member asked:
My family and i have been wearing masks since the pandemic began. we live in a county with a low-spread rate and don't know if we should continue wearing masks indoors. we still wear it at church and stores. what do you recommend?

It will afford some protection although mask wearing protects others more than one's self.self. I believe people who are more susceptible to serious Covid complications are better off socially distancing, avoiding large crowds and wearing masks indoors indefinitely. . In other words they should try to avoid becoming infected with Covid.

My family I live with goes around maskless but I wear a KF95 at all times and try limiting contact with them regardless of symptoms (some always have runny noses or cough even before the pandemic). Is this reasonable? I'm high risk?
