Buy Coronavirus Masks: Here’s Where to Find a Comfortable and Protective Cloth Face Mask
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued new recommendations for wearing cloth face masks and coverings in public in areas where it’s difficult to social distance, such as the grocery store and pharmacy. This is especially important in regions with significant community-based transmission rates. Even while wearing a face mask, the CDC still recommends individuals keep a 6-foot distance between themselves and others to avoid transmitting the infection. Even cutting back on the transmission of the cold and flu will help keep people out of healthcare facilities, reducing the overall burden on these institutions.
So where can you buy cloth face masks for the coronavirus? Tons of clothing manufacturers have stepped up to create these fabric masks, and there are also lots of reusable cotton masks listed on Amazon (see below). Most of these masks are machine washable, which means they can be used repeatedly.
At this time health officials are not recommending people wear N-95 medical-grade masks, which are in desperately low supply in hospitals and health care facilities nationwide. Rather, everyone should wear cloth masks, which you can make at home or buy online. These masks won’t protect you from getting COVID-19, but they will protect asymptomatic people from spreading the disease to more vulnerable populations. And since countless people have COVID-19 without realizing it, that’s an important step we should all take immediately.
If your sewing skills leave much to be desired and you want to buy coronavirus face masks, not to worry — we’ve got you covered (literally). There are plenty of fun, stylish, colorful face masks available for purchase. Before placing an order, check to see when a particular product is due to be delivered. Many coronavirus face maks are only available for pre-order at this time.
This situation is tough, so we might as well find a little joy by choosing a face mask we like wearing. (Personally, we’re partial to the 6 FEET face mask pictured below). Here are our favorite cloth masks available to purchase online right now.
