The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) and the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organization (AAPCHO) will be convening a virtual listening session on June 15, 2022, on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) COVID-19 mask guidance around community use of masks. This listening session provides an opportunity for American Indian (AI), Alaska Native (AN), Asian American (AA), and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI) communities to ask questions about the CDC’s COVID-19 mask guidance.
By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Identify which masks offer the best protection in stopping the spread of COVID-19
- Understand when and why it is important to wear face masks or face-covering in public places and around people who do not live in the same household
- Describe how to prepare for future variants
