The Ontario Health Team-Northumberland is calling on area volunteers to help them ensure patients and clients have a ready supply of cloth masks amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
On Monday, the OHT-N said following its meeting on May 28, partners approved a plan to collect, clean, package and distribute handmade cloth masks to patients and clients with instructions on how to wear them and care for them.
The OHT-N includes Cobourg’s Northumberland Hills Hospital and Campbellford Memorial Hospital, along with primary care providers, community health centres, family health teams and other services in all county communities and Alderville First Nation. “Two observations have motivated us to take this step together at this time,” said Linda
