Got Mask? Oklahoma

Who’s ready to stay safe this summer? 🤚 If you’re not fully vaccinated, be sure to keep wearing your mask when you’re in close proximity with others!

We’ve received submissions from people all over Oklahoma, featuring people wearing masks in so many different places! This is probably one of the most unique submissions we received:

"I wear a mask so that I can protect others while enjoying great art." - David

Thank you, David!

Over the past year, we’ve asked Oklahomans to share their “why” for wearing a mask. We received so many great submissions, and this was one of our favorites:

“I wear my mask because science is how we get back to normal!" - Dr. Savannah Stumph

We love the message on Rick’s shirt as much as we love his mask! Thanks, Rick!

Not yet fully vaccinated? Wearing a mask is still recommended in most circumstances. Mask up to stay safe!

To wear a mask is to show you care.

If you are not yet fully vaccinated, it’s advised by the CDC to continue wearing a mask in most circumstances! If you’re looking to stay safe until you’re fully vaccinated, reference this handy guide.

The CDC released new guidelines regarding mask-wearing for vaccinated people. After you’ve been fully vaccinated and two weeks have passed, the CDC advises that you can go without a mask in almost all circumstances, whether indoors or outdoors.

Even if you’re fully vaccinated, you will still need to follow the guidelines at your workplace and at local businesses, and you will also still need to wear a mask on planes, trains, buses and other forms of public transportation. Outside of those contexts, whether or not you continue to wear a mask is up to your discretion. Let’s all remember to be respectful toward those who continue to wear masks, and let’s stay committed to keeping each other as safe and healthy as possible!
