Sewing elastic on n95s

Description (Dublin Core)

One of our local hospital groups in Horry County, South Carolina, Tidelands Health, had a stock of n95 respirators from a previous public health crisis. However, the elastic securing bands had degraded and become brittle and cant be stretched. They solicited local volunteers to sew on new elastic so the masks can be used. The hospital had a contactless drive up checkin and pick up system. They provided the masks and elastic, so I spent the afternoon repairing 35 small n95 respirator masks. I have a box of large to finish tomorrow before I return them. It is a small thing, but it really helped me feel like I was doing something tangible and helpful for my community.
