Always remove a mask by touching only the straps, not the front or the edges.
Use hand sanitizer after touching your mask.
If your mask has ear loops, let one side hang off one ear when you eat or drink and replace it.
If your mask has two ties behind your head, pull the upper one over the front of your head and let the mask dangle below your chin while you eat or drink.
If you wear an N95 with two elastic bands, remove mask by the bands and hang from one ear while you eat or drink. Those are the hardest to stow while eating and remove without touching the edges of the mask.
