KCYC values the health of our members and that of the community and is happy to provide masks to our members and to the community. Remember that the masks are to be used in addition to all of the other social distancing measures. Many thanks to Nancy Martin for creating the kits and donating the fabric and elastic. Also thanks to our sewers Kathy Showman, Robin Lott, Gloria Young, Walter Viereck, Kim Page, Sandy Dalgleish, and Nancy Martin.
CDC Guidelines for OVCID-19 now recommend Americans wear masks while in public spaces. Dr Fauci, the leading medical scientist on the Federal Coronavirus Task Force, discusses below why the CDC is changing their stance.
"The better part of valor when you’re out and you can’t maintain that six-foot distance is to wear some type of facial covering. An important point to emphasize though is that you should never take away the availability of the masks that are needed for the health care providers who are in real present danger. So this is an addition to the physical separation, not as a substitute for it.”
