No, the CDC says, on the linked page:
>If you are sick wear a facemask in the following situations, if available.
>- If you are sick: You should wear a facemask, if available, when you are around other people (including before you enter a healthcare provider’s office).
>- If you are caring for others: If the person who is sick is not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then as their caregiver, you should wear a facemask when in the same room with them. Visitors, other than caregivers, are not recommended.
>Note: During a public health emergency, facemasks may be reserved for healthcare workers. You may need to improvise a facemask using a scarf or bandana.
