In this simplistic heart-winning Google Doodle, Google's six letters give a great message. The six letters dress up and wear a mask and maintain distance with each other in the Doodle. The "Wear a Mask. Save Lives." doodle on Tuesday reinforces the message that wearing masks can save lives, in the midst of a resurgence of COVID-19 cases across the globe.
Talking about the importance of the masks, Google said:
"Masks can help prevent the spread of the virus from the person wearing the mask to others. Masks alone do not protect against COVID-19 and should be combined with physical distancing and hand hygiene. Follow the advice provided by your local health authority."
Some other recommendations to stay safe and not spread COVID-19 in the ongoing pandemic are:
• Clean your hands often, with soap and water for 20 seconds. Or use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol frequently.
• Avoid close contact with people who are unwell or showing any symptoms like cough, fever or sneezing.
• Put distance between yourself and other people (at least 6 feet).
• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily.
• CDC recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public settings and when around people outside their household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
• Cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others.
Wear a Mask. Save Lives.
