Wear a Face Mask to Protect Those Around You and Slow the Spread of COVID19

It is crucial that we all wear cloth face coverings in public to slow the spread of COVID19, but you don’t need a medical-grade mask or a sewing kit to do your part.

MAKE A MASK WITH EVERYDAY ITEMS – NO SEWING REQUIRED

  • Gather the following items to make a mask at home:
    • A t-shirt or cotton cloth that is large enough to fold multiple times
    • Scissors
    • Rubber bands
    • Optional: coffee filter

Consider adding a filter between layers:

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Any mask is better than no mask.
  • Wearing a mask is not a substitute for social distancing.
  • Wearing a mask is not a substitute for staying home.
  • You should not increase your time in public spaces just because you are wearing a mask.
  • The primary purpose of wearing a mask is to protect those around you.
  • The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

VIEW THE CDC’S GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF CLOTH FACE COVERINGS TO HELP SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.

Jefferson Chamber Staff Families are in this with you! Thank you to our Office Manager & Executive Assistant, Christi Rice and her daughters, Mallory & Madison (shown here), for sporting their masks when they got their social-distance-Easter-bunny photo at the Lakeside Mall.
