Need A Face Mask? Make Your Own [Video]

The CDC and State of Colorado now recommend the use of masks when out in public.

Masks alone will not prevent COVID-19. Proper use of the mask combined with good hygienic practices, staying at home, social distancing and limiting visits to essential business may prevent the spread of COVID-19.
