These are washable cloth masks and come with instructions for usage.

Due to health restrictions, they cannot be delivered door to door and are currently at the front desks in 85 and 95.

Please stop by to pick up a mask. They are available first come, first served.

Important Health Message from:
fhc

Thorncliffe and Flemingdon are high-density communities with high-rise buildings and lots of people close together. The chances of encountering other people is much higher even within our own apartments.

Face mask from Instructables So in addition to all standard measures of protecting yourself (washing hands, social distancing, cleaning commonly used surfaces in your home and building, etc.), we are encouraging all persons to wear a cloth mask or any other fabric to cover their mouth and nose (for example: scarves, niqabs, sweaters, turtlenecks, etc.).
