The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recently recommended the use of cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

As employees and employers continue to implement new work measures, homemade masks present unique challenges. Please use the following resource to assist in addressing your workplace safety issues that are related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the use of homemade masks.
