Safe and Stylish Face Mask Sources From Nurse Bailey

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has required individuals to wear face masks if they are in indoor public spaces and/or using public transportation. The CDC recommends face masks be: at least 2 layers – for extra filtering of particles, consider one with a pocket for a filter (PM 2.5 filter than can filter up to 95% of particles); ​a properly fitted mask that does not allow gaps (gaps decrease protection); allows for breathing without restriction; and washable/reusable. Here are a few resources of some fun and stylish masks that are also CDC-compliant:

Banana Republic 3-layer mask ($29 for 3 colors)

Hedley & Bennett with optional filter pocket ($22 each)

Madewell 3-layer mask (3 for $20)

Puraka adult & kids with filter pocket (variable)
