It’s crucial for health care workers, doctors, and nurses on the front lines of the coronavirus disease to have the proper protective gear to lower the risk of contracting Covid-19, but the world's mask supply is being so rapidly depleted.
Health experts have suggested homemade masks as a last resort for health care providers in places where face masks are not available.

| As
the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, designers Paul and Rose Ranara and EJ
Relampagos donate reusable face masks as the province is experiencing a
shortage of surgical masks and respirators. |
Good Samaritans are rising to the occasion, helping the government in its efforts to arrest the virus.
Cases in point: Bohol designers EJ Relampagos and Paul and Rose Ranara.
They have created washable and reusable face masks intended for frontliners in the province.
EJ and her staff at EJ Relampagos Couture donated reusable masks to frontliners at the Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital, Borja Community Hospital, barangay health workers and quarantine facility team at the old Tagbilaran airport
“This is my only available resources that I can share at this point in time," said EJ.
Paul and Rose (of Rose Paul Silhouette) are also producing washable face masks for our frontliners.
In a Facebook post, they need volunteers to help them produce more masks.
"Calling volunteers who can help us produce face masks to donate to the health sector. We have the raw materials and high speed sewing machines but we lack the manpower because most of our sewers already went home to be with their families," they said.
Thank you for the love, thank you for the malasakit!
May your tribe increase!
