The AHA, the American Medical Association and American Nurses Association today partnered to release a public service announcement urging the American public to take three simple steps to help stop the spread of COVID-19: wear a mask, practice physical distancing and wash hands frequently.

The PSA is the first element of AHA’s comprehensive Wear A Mask campaign to increase public acceptance of these essential actions.
