Masks with 2 or 3 layers are best to protect against the coronavirus
If you’re going to wear a cloth mask, Australian researchers say that masks with two or three layers better protect against the spread of the coronavirus than single-layered masks. Phew! Michele Roush and I sewed hundreds of masks for ER healthcare workers and firefighters. Our three-layered masks have a pocket for a filter to add even more protection.
Here is the pattern we used.
Here is a video I made to show you how to sew them.
I posted this blog: Make masks for healthcare workers back on April 3, 2020. They actually need N95 masks while working with COVID-19 patients; these three-layered cloth masks are for the public. Mask up to stop the spread of the coronavirus!
