A) Yes, you should wear a mask and comply with recommended mask guidelines even if you previously had COVID-19. Wearing a mask helps to protect both yourself and those around you.

Researchers are still learning how immunity works for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and how long it lasts. Evidence has shown that even with antibodies from previously contracting COVID-19, you may still shed the virus if you have been exposed again.

In addition to wearing a mask, it is also important to continue other public health practices including washing hands regularly, using hand sanitizer and practicing safe social distancing in public.
