Kanoa and Luis interview Dr. Manuel Ceja, a Rosarito Beach Doctor, on the importance of wearing face coverings to avoid spreading the virus during the current outbreak of COVID-19.

We want to point out that wearing a homemade or cloth mask does not mean that the public should stop hygienic practices such as washing hands, keeping physical distance and staying home when ordered to. 

Last week the World Health Organization advised the general public that surgical masks should be reserved for medical professionals, while the public should use mainly cloth or home-made face coverings. They also noted that masks don’t necessarily protect the person wearing them, but rather are aimed at slowing the spread of the virus by sick people.
