These covers can be used over the N95 and square disposable masks. I would suggest you wash the fabric prior to making and the groups that get these masks with sterilize them for medical use.

If you know of a health care institute in your local area that can use these mask covers, please reach out to them. Check with your police and fire departments and nursing homes. If you know of other states that are collecting these masks for immediate use, please also touch base with me.
Just remember that these masks, on their own, DO NOT protect you and yours. In fact, I have touched base with two nurses today and they say without the proper liner they can do more harm by giving those who wear them false hope. The droplets in the air stay on the fabric and you will constantly be breathing them in.
Please share any photos of masks that you make by sending them to me in .JPEG format to 2013Hexagonswap@gmail.com
