Though their unconditional support is recognized and appreciated by hospitals and healthcare workers, it's important to note that homemade masks are not a replacement for personal protective equipment (PPE), says Dr. Alok Patel, M.D., a pediatrician in New York City affiliated with New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland. 〰️ He adds that hospital officials may suggest that homemade masks first go to those who are vulnerable and in need of protection, such as people in homeless shelters or other public services. Others have suggested the sewn masks could act as a protective barrier and go over an N95, to prolong its use. "In the end, our PPE (personal protective equipment) shortage needs to be addressed at the federal level and manufacturing needs to be prioritized," says @alokpatelmd. “Nonetheless, this gesture from thousands of Americans is both comforting and inspiring—it's a reminder that we're all in this fight together.” 〰️ Here, our editor at large @naomidemanana created a template for sewing a mask at home.
