Do-It-Yourself Cloth Face Coverings

Do-It-Yourself Cloth Face Coverings to Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19


Federal health officials now recommend people cover their mouths and noses with fabric coverings when in public (such as grocery stores and pharmacies)to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The specialized N95 and surgical masks should be reserved for health care providers.

The CDC advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.
