  • Homemade products DO NOT replace any equipment approved by Health Canada, including, but not limited to, N95 masks.
  • These masks do NOT treat or prevent the spread of COVID-19 or otherwise and are not to be used when working with infected people, unless they are used over top of a N95 mask.
  • These masks are to be used only as a backup to frontline workers when they are faced with a shortage of personal protective equipment (“PPE”).
  • Please see Health Canada’s guidelines on what PPE is required for healthcare professionals.
