The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta has recommended that everyone (except infants) wear a cloth face cover when in public settings where there are other people, such as grocery stores. Since medical-grade face masks need to be reserved for medical professionals and the sick, the rest of us should be making our own masks.
The CDC has instructions for making three different kinds of masks, depending on your sewing skills and materials available. Vox has more information and additional links and videos for making homemade cloth masks.
