The coronavirus epidemic is progressing in France and everyone is now advised to wear a protective mask. However if it is not necessarily possible to get them in pharmacies, tutorials are offered on the web. But beware, wearing a general public mask still requires the application of barrier gestures and limiting exits remains essential.
In France, thecoronavirus epidemic progresses. While the peak should be reached very soon and that the confinement will most likely be extended again, theAcademy of Doctore estimated this Friday April 3, 2020 that the wearing of a mask even “general public” should be made mandatory to overcome the epidemic of covid-19.
But what do they mean by mask “ General public“? They are simply makeshift masks, these artisanal productions whose tutorials are popping up all over the web. So this type of mask would be better than no mask at all !
But beware, although they allow to serve asanti-postillon screen, this is not a medical device. So the wearing these masks does not exempt you from applying barrier gestures. So even with a handmade mask, it will be necessary to remain vigilant and to limit its exits to the maximum: the protection will not be total.
However, the widespread use of masks, even handcrafted, in addition to compliance with containment measures and the application of health recommendations would limit the spread of the virus on French territory.
Some organizations are revealing models of masks to be made, such as that of AFNOR for example. Using these patterns, tutorials have been published, in particular on YouTube, by sewing enthusiasts in order to explain step by step how to proceed.
If you are not very manual, rest assured: theAFNOR has set up a platform to connect manufacturers and applicants for general public mask :
