Guides for volunteers supporting medical professionals with care mask covers

Medical professionals are the brave ground troops in the war on Covid-19, and we aim to be the airforce that drops in critical supplies. We are moms, dads, doctors, nurses, business people, computer nerds, retired folk, and children coming together to serve our country in this challenging time.

This site was created to provide information to the growing network of volunteers and to help connect medical professionals to the community that is producing the supplies.

Thank you so much to all of the volunteers and supporters!

Guides

We created our own version of the assembly instructions that will allow seamsters of all levels to create mask covers. The care mask covers produced from our guides have been reviewed by individual medical doctors who are very grateful to receive them.

It is important to note that these are mask covers, not a replacement for N95 masks. Covid Rangers does not claim that wearing these mask covers alone will provide protection.


Fabric Cutters

"If you can safely handle scissors you can do this"


Use our easy to follow guide to print, pin and cut fabric.

Produce sets of pre cut fabric for our seamsters. Reach out to your Facebook group in order see where you can drop off the completed sets.

Your efforts allow our seamsters to produce more mask covers. In the war on Covid-19 you are the Navy, Hooyah!

Seamsters

"If you can sew simple projects you can do this"


Feel free to select a guide that matches your skill level and follow the steps in order to create mask covers.

Reach out to your Facebook group if you need supplies or have completed mask covers. They will help you figure out where to drop off completed mask covers.

Imagine every stitch is killing a virus. Stitch those bugs!

One Stop Shop

"I got fabric and a sewing machine, hear me roar"


Follow the guide that will take you from fabric to completed mask covers.

Reach out to your community on Facebook for supplies or to get questions answered.

Drop off completed mask covers and rejoice in your awesomeness.

Print Masters

"Like Tony Stark I have a 3D printer"


Use our print plans and help produce gear that will protect our real life heroes.

Drop off or mail completed parts, we'll take care of the rest.

Request Personal Protective Gear

CovidRangers.com accepts requests for mask covers and forwards those to the Facebook community leaders that are coordinating the assembly and delivery process. If you or your organization need any of the gear described below please fill out the form by clicking on the "REQUEST GEAR" button.



Care mask covers

These are reusable covers that will go over the N95s to prolong their use. These covers should be sanitized daily. They have a pocket for an additional filter insert and a bendable/pinch-able nose piece.

The care mask covers produced from our guides have been reviewed by individual medical doctors who are very grateful to receive them. It is important to stress that these are mask covers that are intended to be worn on top of N95 type masks, not act as a replacement for them.


Covid Rangers is not suggesting that these covers should take the place of appropriate N95 masks. Please read this report that describes how using improvised cloth masks and common fabric materials does not protect during outbreaks. They are not FDA-tested or FDA-approved. You must use them at your own risk. Covid Rangers does not provide any guarantees nor are we assuming any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use of these mask covers.

We are citizens trying to help by doing what our medical doctor friends are telling us they need. We are not a Med-Tech company that discovered a secret stash of N95 masks.



Face shields

We are about to unleash volunteer sourced production of face shields that were designed by a team of amazing engineers working with medical doctors. These face shields should be worn over the masks (and mask covers).

The images below are of the latest pre-production protoype. We are looking for a comfortable elastic to use as part of the set.


We are documenting the process of printing the parts and shipping them to our logistics center in order to get production going.



Ear Guards

Our volunteers with 3D printers are also busy creating a supply of the popular ear guards. These bendable gizmos take the elastic pressure off your ears and prevent discomfort that comes with wearing masks that loop around your ears for long hours.

Support Covid Rangers

Covid Rangers is a site dedicated to providing guides and information to a large community of volunteers who are sacrificing their time and talent to help fight the Covid-19 pandemic by supporting medical professionals who are in desperate need of basic supplies such as the care mask covers we are creating.
