Dr. Susan R. Bailey, who was recently named the president of the AMA, says the association recently launched a new initiative called the #MaskUp campaign.

Bailey says the campaign, which started in early August, was created to debunk myths about mask-wearing and to encourage everyone to wear masks in public.
