The local community hospital is planning on using cloth masks over proper face masks to ameliorate the COVID 19 mask shortage. Community member sew masks at home.

 

I am a little taken aback by this but my infection prevention knowledge may be outdatedā€¦.

 

Is anyone else aware of this practice being done elsewhere and being acceptable?

 

Thanks
