A lot of KOAT viewers have questions about masks.Should everybody wear them, what kind and does the state have enough for the people who need them?Even though there are several different kinds of masks, we're going to break it down into two categories - the ones patients and professionals need and the kind you can make in your own home.With the projected surge of COVID-19 cases upon us, the state is scrambling to stockpile masks for the people at the front line of this fight.“Finding these and getting these manufacturing these has been an international challenge,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said.The governor said both the N95 mask and your standard surgical masks need to be reserved for patients and providers.“Please don't buy surgical masks and N95 masks. We want to create a vehicle where your state, your hospitals, and your providers have access to these,” Lujan Grisham said.The reality is, there just aren't enough for everybody.“Can I promise every health care worker and every New Mexican that we're going to have enough of these? I can't,” Lujan Grisham said.The governor says the only way she can make that happen is if there are more people at home and less in the hospital.Lovelace Health's Chief Nurse Officer Nancye Cole agrees people need to continue staying home.“When you think about our health, this disease, this virus is three times as infectious as influenza,” Cole said.Both the state and providers like Lovelace advise that it is a good idea when you go out to wear some sort of mask.That brings us to category two, homemade masks.“We've got so many people out there with those sewing machines. Worrying. They're just out there making mask after mask after mask and we so appreciate it,” Cole said.A lot of innovation and creativity has gone into this crisis that we're experiencing,” Cole said.Even KOAT meteorologist Kelly Franson has done a video showing how to do it.You can actually donate masks you make at home.Although health care providers can't wear them as a substitute for what they need, they can use it as an extra layer of protection when they're not in isolation areas.To donate homemade masks to Lovelace, go to 4101 Indian School Road Northeast, suite 110, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
