Instructor Myree joins Dr. Leslie Philips and Dr. Jay Fathi to explain how to make and improve homemade masks (and face shields). 
 
You are now in Tier 1, the same tier as doctors and nurses, and more caregivers are beginning to receive personal protective equipment (PPE). However, access to PPE may still vary and some caregivers are making their own masks. While these are not official PPE, there are simple ways to improve homemade masks so they can better protect you. Watch to learn how you can: 
- Add a filter.
- Improve the fit.
- Create a homemade face shield for additional protection.
