How To Make a Cloth Face Covering with Board Chair Libby Garvey

Arlington County is encouraging all Arlingtonians to wear cloth face coverings when in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.This directive is in accordance with a new recommendation from the CDC which encourages the cloth face coverings in public (e.g. grocery stores and pharmacies).To be clear, this is not meant as a replacement to staying at home, handwashing or maintaining six feet of distance – those remain the cornerstones in the effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.The CDC offers three types of cloth face coverings for use:- Sewn Cloth Face Covering- Quick Cut T-shirt Face Covering (no sew method)- Bandana Face Covering (no sew method)
