7/1/2020 Face-Coverings (masks) • OEC guidance requires that all staff must use face-coverings at all times (unless outside and keep a distance of 6 feet) • Children are not required to wear face coverings in child care settings 13 Frequently Asked Questions 5. Do staff need to wear masks outside? Staff is not required to wear a mask or cloth face covering if they are outdoors and can maintain a distance of 6 feet or more from both children and other staff. However, staff should have masks or face coverings readily available when outside. That way, they can quickly put on a mask when they need to assist a child. 6. Can we use clear face coverings or face shields instead of face masks? Clear face coverings are acceptable as long as they fit snugly against the sides of the face. A face shield without a face mask beneath it does not meet the requirement for face coverings. Face coverings shall: Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face Be secured with ties or ear loops Include multiple layers of fabric Allow for breathing without restriction Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape 14 7
