Tri Valley offers cloth masks

CAMBRIDGE, Neb. – Tri Valley Health System is offering free fabric face masks for anyone in the community who is in need of one. The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain to help slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. The cloth face coverings given out are made of fabric and are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders as recommended by current CDC guidance.

Tri Valley Health System has received fabric and mask donations from the community and has had a team of employees who are making masks for staff, patients, and anyone in the community that needs one. Tri Valley Health System would like to ensure the health of everyone in the community and help protect them from COVID-19. If you are in need of a mask please contact Tri Valley Health System at 308-697-1123 or email info@trivalleyhealth.com
