Face Mask 1.JPG

Face masks are used to help prevent the spread of the disease. These masks are worn by people who are infected, or might be infected. You should wear one if you are coughing or sneezing.

Our local hospital is keeping the official paper masks for their staff. They want to give one of these to every patient who walks in the door.

​ These masks are made of cotton. They have elastic or ties that go around the ears or tie around the head. Each has a substantial pocket that the user can stuff with tissue. They are washable.  ​ You can make these at home with a sewing machine.
