People use face masks most in stores and food-service establishments

According to our late May/early June survey, mask use is highest in enclosed spaces where people can expect to encounter those from other households, and lower in outdoor settings or gatherings of friends. The one exception? Gyms.

Respondents use masks in a variety of public places, and cloth masks are used most commonly across destinations.
