Why Wearing a Mask is a Good Idea
|
| Should you be wearing a cloth face covering, or mask, in public places? According to the CDC’s latest recommendation, the answer for almost everyone is yes. That's because we now know coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be spread by people who don’t have symptoms. |
| You might not be used to wearing a mask to the grocery store or seeing others in them. But like social distancing, it’s another easy way we can work together to get through this. |
| Learn how cloth masks protect others, plus how you can make your own at home. (No sewing necessary.) |

Make and Donate Hospital Masks
|
| Masks aren’t just for healthcare providers fighting coronavirus. They’re also worn by adult and pediatric patients with flu-like symptoms and help protect facilities, other patients and caregivers from further exposure. |
| Groups around the community have already stepped up to sew masks for patients. If you love to sew and are looking for ways to give back, you can, too. |
