Use of Cloth Face Coverings to Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19
4/9/2020 8:17:00 AM - Nimkee Clinic

The CDC is recommending wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing "6 feet" measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. Please see the guide attached and directions "how to make cloth face coverings" at home. Please remember the face masks we are recommending are not surgical masks or N-95 masks, those types of masks are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and or other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.
