Making a homemade face mask or face covering out of cloth isn't for everyone and that's OK.

If you want to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, here's where to buy premade, non-medical face masks, and what to look for when purchasing one.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends wearing a face covering as a voluntary health measure when you're in crowded public places where social distancing isn't possible, like the supermarket. With the shortage of N95 and surgical face masks, cloth coverings are the next-best option.

When shopping for masks, look for one that's made from cotton -- pleated ones may offer more layers. It needs to be wide enough to cover your nose and chin, and should be snug enough not to create gaps.

A tight fit will help keep out large particles that travel through the air, like from sneezes. Remember to wash the mask before putting it on.

You might want to buy multiple masks so that you always have a clean one on hand -- you'll need to wash it whenever you get home after going out in public.

Note that wearing a non-medical face mask doesn't exempt you from physical and social distancing -- you still need to behave as though you're not wearing one. And also be aware that non-medical masks may not prevent you from acquiring COVID-19, which is why other precautions are so important.

Shopping an Etsy store is another option if you're looking to buy multiple face masks with different prints. However, it's important to note that they do sell out quickly, so if you spot one you like, it might be best to buy it then. Some sellers carry sizes for adults and kids, so make sure you check the size before purchasing the mask to make sure you're getting one that fits.
