Masks Now Coalition announces first CDC compliant facemask

This coalition also and distributes the masks to the facilities who need them like retirement homes, prisons, hospitals, banks, grocery stores, and other essential businesses.

 

The CDC says every person in America should wear a cloth mask or face-covering in public to combat the spread of Covid-19. The Masks Now Coalition's standard, three-layer design mask has met all CDC facemask guidelines and FDA enforcement regulations for non-medical masks.

 

Over 1,000 facilities including 220 hospitals have already requested over 300,000 handmade masks from the Masks Now Coalition. The coalition's strength is its 10,000+ volunteers and over 100 lead organisers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico who are supported by the state and regional leads. A steering committee manages the bottom-up effort. Francey Lim Youngberg, a former senior Obama appointee, is the national lead organiser.

 

"Our country's doctors and nurses are fighting on the frontlines against the coronavirus pandemic and each American can support their effort," Youngberg said in a press release. "The more masks we make, the more we protect them. That's why we need to mask up to protect us all.”
