The Registrar of Voters wants you to exercise your civic duty without worrying about getting sick. That’s why they’re implementing a robust plan to keep voting centers safe with socially distanced voting booths, one-way entrances and exits, and plenty of hand sanitizer. San José Spotlight has more.

Why do we have to wear masks when we go out in public, and what kind of mask will save lives? Everyone seems to have a different take, and it’s confusing us. Bottom line: There are two reasons to wear a mask: protecting yourself and protecting those around you. My mask protects you, and your masks protect me! And when it comes to the basics, just about any kind of cover will do...
If you care about the health and safety of your loved ones – and anyone you encounter when you venture out of the house during shelter in place – you should wear a mask. Remember, you can have coronavirus without showing the symptoms, but you can block transmission with a simple cloth mask. Or you can go for full face coverage like a luchador. Whichever way you go, you can help us protect our friends and neighbors!
Protecting yourself from infection in a pandemic is not simple, and it’s no laughing matter. If you’re going to be in close contact with a lot of people, I strongly recommend a medical-grade respirator mask. The infection occurs when particles fly through the air from talking, coughing, or sneezing, and science shows those particles can stay in the air for quite a while. That’s why I use this serious, construction grade mask!
