4 mm flat elastic suitable for making alternative washable fabric masks, to be used in addition to the recommended barrier gestures to limit the transmission of viruses.
Following the general shortage of masks, fabric masks can be useful for many professions (non-healthcare staff in hospitals, cashiers, town hall employees, postal workers, etc.).
Warning: the fabric mask is not a medical device.
Wearing an alternative fabric mask helps to limit hand-to-mouth contact and to limit the sputters and droplets that can be emitted and that carry the coronavirus.
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), "the mask is only effective if it is combined with frequent hand washing with a hydro-alcoholic solution or water and soap". The mask must "cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly over your face. Do not touch the front of the mask while it is being worn."
All proceeds from the sale of this elastic band will be donated to the Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France.
Please be reasonable in your orders, to order only if you need it and to give as many people as possible the chance to order their equipment to make their mask.
