In the face of the current coronavirus pandemic, people
around the world have stepped up to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
People are practicing social distancing, staying at home, and implementing
proper sanitation such as washing hands frequently and disinfecting highly used
surfaces. Face masks, face shields, and other personal protective equipment
(PPE) serves as another line of defense against coronavirus and its resulting
respiratory disease.
At Tassel Depot, we have been doing our part to stop the
spread of COVID-19 and flatten the curve. Our highest priority is to protect
the health and well-being of our employees and customers. So while we continue
to keep our operations open, we have developed a series of COVID-19 safety and
sanitation guidelines you can read about here.
In addition to updating our factory and office procedures,
Tassel Depot is proud to now offer coronavirus PPE products to our customers.
These includes face shields and face masks for effective coronavirus
protection. Shop our face
shields and face masks for sale!
Made in The U.S. Face Masks for Coronavirus Protection
All our coronavirus face masks are made of 100% cotton and
manufactured in the U.S. These masks are not medical grade certified, but they
are made up of two layers of durable fabric. Secured with elastic ear loops,
our face masks are designed to be breathable and fit comfortably over your
mouth and nose.
Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
the World Health Organization (WHO) have recommended the use of face masks to
protect against the novel coronavirus.1 The CDC recommends wearing a
cloth face mask or covering in public settings.2 A growing number of
cities are putting face mask mandates into effect to help stop the spread of
COVID-19.3
While studies on the effectiveness of cloth face masks for
coronavirus protection remain limited,4 they can be worn on top of
heavy-duty PPE such as N95 respirators which are used by healthcare
professionals. Another way to increase the effectiveness of our coronavirus
face masks is by also wearing a protective face shield.
Face Shields That Are Protective and Comfortable
Fortunately, Tassel Depot is also offering face shields for
coronavirus protection. Like our coronavirus face masks, our face shields are
not medical grade certified. These plastic shields can be worn over a cotton
mask, surgical mask, or respirator for full face protection. Our face shields
are one size fits all and are contoured for comfort and coverage. Attached with
an elastic back and foam head cushion, they can protect you from droplets,
particles, dust, and smoke. Clear and lightweight, they can become part of your
everyday PPE get up.
Donating Materials for Healthcare Providers
For each mask we sell, Tassel Depot will be donating elastic
to help manufacture medical personal protective gear for our first responders
and healthcare providers. Contact
us or call (954) 698-0000 if you have
any questions or if you want to make an order!
