Citing shortages, Deaconess Health System, including Henderson's Methodist Health, has asked the public to sew face masks for staff fighting coronavirus.
"This does follow CDC protocols that you can find on their website that if all other supplies are not available, that handmade masks that meet certain criteria are acceptable," Deaconess spokeswoman Becca Scott said.

Bainbridge doctor's wife makes protective hoods
Before Will Boyan enters a room with a coronavirus patient, he dons a protective suit with a special hood. A blower unit clipped at his beltline – in his words, like a Sony Walkman – connects via a hose to the hood, giving him a river of fresh, clean air to breathe, isolating him from his patient.
Boyan, a pulmonary critical care doctor at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, doesn’t enter a “hot” COVID-19 room without the system, known as a PAPR — a powered, air-purifying respirator.
The specific model of the hood he and other health care providers still use was discontinued by 3M in favor of a new model a few years back, leaving the old gear in short supply, Boyan said in an interview before heading to treat a COVID-19 patient . . .
