The Brunswick Medical Centre in Pointe-Claire, Que., is asking volunteers to donate cloth face masks in order to protect patients.

According to the clinic, its staff manages approximately 1,000 appointments per day. Ninety per cent of those are now being done by teleconsultation.

However, the clinic still sees about 100 patients per day in person. Dr. Barbara Hogenbirk, a family doctor and medical director of the centre, says most of those patients are pregnant women or newborn babies who need extra care. “They may ask for masks.

This is a way to make them comfortable and save the medical masks for the medical personnel,” Hogenbirk said. The clinic posted a call on social media for volunteer sewers to donate homemade masks.
