The COVID-19 pandemic is causing shortages for certified personal protective equipment (PPE) needed by Canadian Health Care Workers (HCW). Despite success to mobilize non-health care institutions to donate PPE stocks, these additional community reserves are likely to soon become exhausted. Hospitals have communicated a need for homemade masks that can be used in non-critical areas of operations for inpatients. This project will interface with a community volunteer network, Windsor-Essex Sewing Force (WESF), to implement a testing and quality control program to optimize production of high quality homemade masks for donation to Windsor-Essex health care institutions.
