The CDC and WHO recommend universal non-surgical mask usage to decrease community spread of COVID-19. We aim to use an evidence-based approach to design and fabricate reusable homemade masks that are as effective as surgical masks. These masks are provided free of charge for at risk individuals in our community. Our volunteer initiative is inspired by a UF health project (https://anest.ufl.edu/clinical-divisions/mask-alternative/). At this time, the masks are only used in the community and not recommended to be used in hospitals unless the current supply of N95 respirators and surgical face masks become compromised.
