Why should I wear a mask when I'm sick?
<|assistant|>
Wearing a mask when you're sick can help protect yourself and others from illnesses that are caused by breathing in your respiratory droplets. These droplets stay in the air for hours after you have sneezed or spoken and are easily spread to other people. Wearing a mask reduces this risk as it traps your respiratory droplets so that you cannot spread the illness to others.
