Until recently, the World Health Organization stated that if you're healthy, you do not need to wear a face mask.
However, the chief medical officer of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Neil Fishman, told the New York Times that “for individuals working in certain essential industries, where they still have to go out every day, I think wearing a mask makes sense.”
After his statement, the CDC is now considering the general public wear face masks when they're out and about.
Out of respect of the medical profession’s shortage of face masks, it's so important that we try to make our own masks and refrain from buying the masks our healthcare workers desperately need.
Below are a few tutorials on how to make your own face mask without having to sew, since some of us don't know how to or don't have supplies. Also, remember that the mask's edges should lay snuggly against the skin. Find which tutorial works best for you!
