The order does not require children 12 and younger to wear face coverings or anyone who has trouble

Children two years old or younger must not wear them due to risk of suffocation.
The California Department of Public Health has these guidelines for cloth masksface coverings:
Face coverings can be made out of cloth, be factory-made or hand-sewn, or improvised using
bandannas, scarves, T-shirts, sweatshirts or towels. The material should cover the nose and mouth.
Ideally, face coverings should be washed after each use. Dirty masks should be placed in a dedicated
laundry bag or bin. Use detergent and hot water when washing cloth masks, and dry them on a hot
cycle.
Be sure your mask is comfortable; you don’t want to have to keep adjusting the mask because that
means touching your face.Wash your hands, or use hand sanitizer, before and after touching your face
or face coverings. If you must re-wear your cloth face covering before washing it, wash your hands

To help stop the spread of COVID-19, the Monterey County Health Officer is requiring residents to wear
a face covering when going out into the public to perform essential activities, effective 12:01 a.m. on
Thursday, April 30, 2020. Combined with sheltering in place, social distancing, and frequent hand
hygiene, facial coverings are shown to help slow transmission of COVID-19.
The use of medical masks, such as N-95 respirators and surgical masks, are strongly discouraged for
general use. Due to the global demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), there is a severe
shortage of PPE across the state. Those supplies should be reserved for health care workers and first
responders. Monterey County Health Department asks residents to refrain from purchasing PPE for
their own use and to utilize homemade face coverings instead.
Businesses must take reasonable measures, such as posting signs, to remind patrons about face
coverings, and may not serve customers who do not observe the order. Workers do not need to wear
face coverings if they are alone in a personal office but must put them on when others are present.
The order also includes customers of public transit (including while waiting at transit stops), rideshare
services, and passengers in private automobiles who are not members of the same household. Both
