Description: Ready to start making your mask? Grab a T-shirt and download the template for instructions on what materials to use and how to put everything together. And, remember, wearing a mask doesn’t replace washing your hands regularly and practicing social distancing. These are always your first lines of defense.
# heroes wearmasks
Without the heroic medical professionals, first responders and essential workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, we would have no chance of stopping the spread of this devastating virus. And without access to critical N95 and surgical masks, those same heroes can’t do their jobs safely and securely. The CDC is asking those of us not on the front lines to make our own masks at home, reserving valuable supplies for those who need them most.
Every one of us has an obligation to do what we can to help save lives and so − in its own way − this is a small but incredibly important act of heroism. The more people join the fight, the sooner we’ll be able to overcome this virus.
