Sew and Donate Facemasks!
Make a Facemask to Help Protect Our Patients and Staff
Due to the recent implementation of universal masking at all Marcus Daly
Memorial Hospital facilities, our fabric mask inventory is going quickly
and we need more! Each mask will go to a patient or visitor at all Marcus
Daly Memorial Hospital locations, helping us conserve our reserves of
Personal Protective Equipment.
Universal Masking
For the safety of patients and staff, all Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital
facilities have implemented a universal masking policy, therefore each
patient coming for services needs to have a mask. In light of this new
evidence,
the CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing
measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies)
especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
It is critical to emphasize that maintaining 6-feet social distancing remains
important to slowing the spread of the virus. The CDC is additionally advising
the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus
and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings
fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at
low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.
The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators.
Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare
workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by
current CDC guidance.
