Examples of WEARING in a Sentence

1. Richina Bicette-McCain:

   Baylor College of Medicine definitely worries me. I think we are jumping the gun a little bit, we saw this happen in June over the summer when we declared the pandemic to be over a bit too early. We decided that those who are vaccinated need not wear masks, which turned into everyone not wearing masks and then subsequently the spike and the Delta wave followed.

5. Reva Benien:

   Nobody likes to wear a mask. As a nurse, I didn't say I'm not going to wear a mask when I go take care of that patient, because they have an infection or they have a compromised immune system. For whatever reason, I was wearing a mask.
