The University of Maryland Medical System is seeking 1,000 donated child-sized cloth face masks for its system-wide community health improvement team.
As UMSON stepped up to the initial call for face masks for UMMC, providing more than 8,000 through donations from faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends, and community members, we are hoping you'll respond to this call, too.
Child-sized mask templates are available through the same sites providing adult-size templates:
To Avoid Contamination ...
- To avoid contamination of masks or other people while transporting them, if you are currently feeling sick or have been exposed to anyone with symptoms (fever, shortness of breath, dry cough, or other) do NOT make masks at this time
- Place the completed masks in a sealed plastic bag that can be wiped down by the health care group and then run through their sanitizing processes. If you don’t have sealable bags, just seal them up as best you can.
- Please place a note in the bag or write on the bag how many masks are included.
