There P.E.I. women have joined an Islandwide effort to provide reusable COVID-19 masks to Islanders.
Alyssa MacKinnon, Emma Drake, and Sweta Daboo launched a Facebook page called Mask Central P.E.I. which aims to bring together three groups – those accepting donations of masks to distribute, donors looking to help get masks to those who need them, and people in communities across the province who need a mask.
Mask wearing became mandatory in all public indoor places on November 20. Mask Central P.E.I. is the latest group to respond to the need for masks. The group has been thinking about joining the effort since the start of the pandemic.
There are many places that hand out non-reusable masks for free, but those are typically found at grocery stores or shopping centers.
