Trigg County Hospital is asking for the public’s help to make masks for community members to wear when in public.
Trigg County Hospital Medical Director Dr. Shea Godwin says the initiative is a way members of the community can help fight the spread of COVID-19.
Dr. Godwin says the effort is being spearheaded by the Trigg County Hospital nursing department.
She says people need to leave medical-grade equipment for medical professionals.
Dr. Godwin says homemade masks do provide some protection.
She adds masks will be distributed by the nursing department at Trigg County Hospital.
Dr. Godwin adds they are not sure soon the masks will be available at Trigg County Hospital. She says it depends on how quickly the community responds to the request to make masks.
