Wearing a maskπ· is one of the ways we can protect ourselves from #COVID19 to catch the small droplets in the air you create when you cough or sneeze.
With N95 masks in short supply, it is vital to save them for our health workers on the frontline. Cloth masks can be worn and provide some protection. Here is an easy way to make your own cloth mask in four steps:
1. Cut three rectangles of material. They should be big enough that the finished mask will go from the top of your nose to the bottom of your chin and from ear to ear.
2. The outer layers should be a non-stretchy cotton, like a pillowcase or denim. The middle layer should be a polyester fabric.
3. Pleat the three rectangle three times. Sew the three rectangles together.
4. Attach strings (shoelaces , or long strips of fabric) to each corner. You will use these to tie the mask at the top and bottom of the head.
