Hi.
I wrote the following sentence:
Don’t put on your mask until you are told that there are cases in your neighborhood.
I was chatting with a friend online and I told her to wear a mask where they’re many people. She said it’s not necessary because no case is reported these days.
The intended meaning: don’t wait till the moment when there are cases of COVID reported then to wear a mask, that’ll be too late.
I think the italic sentence is not natural. I was trying to use the structure “not until”. Would you please help me with it?
