DISCLAIMER: According to the CDC (2020), homemade masks are a strategy or option to optimize supplies of facemasks in healthcare settings when there is limited supply. These face masks are not meant to replace the N95 respirators and surgical masks, but a contingency plan for those who have no avail to masks in the market. Homemade masks are not considered personal protective equipment (PPE), since their capability to protect healthcare personnel (HCP) is unknown. Caution should be exercised when considering this option. Homemade masks can be washed and reused as well as used in conjunction with N95 respirators and surgical masks. ⠀
