Don't touch your face: “If you are going to wear a face protection, try not to touch it. Be very careful and make sure you don't touch your face, ”Adams told NBC's Savannah Guthrie.
Don't wear an N95: "If you are going to wear a face shield, save the N95 masks for healthcare workers who need them," Adams said.
Stay home: “Wearing a face mask doesn't mean you don't have to practice social distancing. The most important thing they can do is stay home right now, and we don't want people to feel like 'OK, I'm covering my face, so now it's okay to go out in public,' ”he said.
