a N95 or KN95 certified mask is a better choice than the mask in this video. Please refer to your local government agency for the latest recommendations on what mask is best.
T-Shirt material is not the ideal fabric to use for a mask. If a T-Shirt is the only material you have, here is how you can make a mask out of it. The 3-layer mask located on masksNOW.org would be a better choice.

This mask is for personal use only and not intended to be donated to hospitals.
Sizes:
Medium - Large and Small - X Small
Disclaimer:
These homemade facemasks are not surgical masks or Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFRs). These facemasks have not been tested for fluid resistance, particulate or bacteria filtration efficiency, differential pressure, or flammability. These homemade facemasks have not been evaluated by the FDA. These facemasks have no certifications from any regulatory agency.
Materials used:
Any T-Shirt can be used. It is recommended to use 2 different color T-Shirts so it is easy to distinguish the front of the mask and the side that goes towards the face. A shirt that has no painted on graphics is preferred. A hand sewing needle and all purpose thread is also needed.
