Coronavirus: Where to buy face masks, bandanas, scarves, face coverings

Health officials are recommending people wear non-medical face coverings such as masks, bandanas or scarves when they are in public. The recommendation is just one of the efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the virus caused by coronavirus.

Dr. Mary McIntyre, chief medical officer for the Alabama Department of Public Health, said the face coverings are an alternative to medical masks, which need to be reserved for use by hospitals, first responders and other healthcare providers.

The push for face masks has led to numerous tutorials on how to make your own (You can see the CDC’s here). Sewing groups and individuals are also making masks.

If you’re not crafty, you can also order masks. Many places are selling masks, including:
