In the ongoing battle against the Coronavirus (COVID-19), select hospital systems have made a public call to sew face masks and put out guidance with their requirements.
Hospitals Accepting Face Masks from Sewing Community – UPDATED LIST
http://www.sewingreport.com/2020/03/hospitals-accepting-face-masks-from-sewing-community-updated-list/There’s a lot of hubbub in the sewing community on sewing DIY face masks and whether or not they are effective / useful. So far, I have not shared or talked about this as I’ve been leery about disseminating incorrect / misleading information and want to be sure I’m using these platforms responsibly.
Typically, hospital and healthcare workers are not permitted to wear homemade / sewn personal protective equipment (PPE). That being said, updated CDC guidance does advise healthcare professionals to use “homemade masks” as a “last resort.”

I will ONLY be sharing information and resources put out directly from medical / health organizations, government agencies, and the CDC. (No news articles as I’ve found too many to be rather vague and contain no specifics or links to sources, which isn’t very helpful to us.)
Stay safe!
