“Number one. stay indoors as much as possible. Avoid strenuous activity outside,” said Dr. Sosa.
She went on to add, “Although it’s important to keep wearing a mask during this time of COVID and to protect you from COVID, know that a mask will not protect you from the harmful effect of ash and smoke. If at all possible keep a 7 to 10-day medication on hand in the event that you will still need to be evacuated.”
