Living Beyond COVID-19 II: To Mask or Not to Mask

Despite the widespread relaxation of mask mandates and social distancing measures, the SARS-CoV-2 Virus is still circulating amongst us and there are still people dying from the illness. On Health In Harlem we too agree that it is time to move forward, but living life with abandon and not acknowledging the fact that COVID still kills will only lead to more unnecessary deaths and more closures, mandates, and restrictions when the virus surges again. Thus we crafted this episode to discuss the best ways of protecting yourself, your family, and friends from SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: COVID Data Tracker https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Use and Care of Masks https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html COVID.gov https://www.covid.gov/tests
