In addition, your face mask should be supplied with elastics and have a close fit. The face mask cannot be a substitution for the existing recommendations for protection against spread of infectious disease from the National Health Service but must be considered a supplement. Always keep an eye on the website of the National Health Service and the Government’s website. www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ www.gov.uk/coronavirus 2.Face mask with pleats: Cut 2 pieces of fabric using the templet Cut 1 piece of lining fabric (art no 9598) using the templet.
