\"\"<\/a>In response to the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the CDC’s\u00a0advising of all\u00a0residents\u00a0to wear masks when in public, State Senator Andy Dinniman announced a community challenge: MaskUp Chester County.<\/p>\n

“When one person wears a mask, they\u2019re making the conscientious decision to protect others around them,” Dinniman said.\u00a0If everyone wears a mask, everyone has an added layer of protection. My mask will protect you, and your mask will protect me.”<\/p>\n

Many Pennsylvania residents have asked where they can find or purchase masks to keep themselves and others safe.\u00a0<\/strong>Online guides and official Pa. Dept. of Health guidelines have shown that masks which limit the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne infections are able to be made from home. <\/p>\n

“I am launching the MaskUp Chester County Challenge — a homemade mask challenge, because we want to see all the amazing homemade mask designs that our community creates,” Dinniman said. “Whether it\u2019s an art project, a family craft day, or your way to express your creativity \u2013 you can post a photo of you wearing a mask on our Facebook challenge.\u00a0We will be providing links and sources here to learn how to make a mask, and what materials you can utilize for it.”<\/p>\n

The theme of the challenge is “My mask will protect you, and your mask will protect me,” a slogan utilized by the Pa. Dept. of Health. Submit your photo www.facebook.com\/SenatorAndyDinniman\/<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of the week, the masks will be opened to a community vote in two categories: “Most Creative” and “Best In-Theme.” The winners will receive a senate certificate from Senator Dinniman’s office.<\/p>\n

A mask doesn’t make you immune.\u00a0Staying home is the most effective way to protect yourself, but if you must go out, wearing a mask as an extra layer of protection to protect others.<\/p>\n

“Let’s continue to work together to\u00a0protect one another. Wearing these masks is a symbol of how\u00a0we can keep\u00a0our fellow Chester Countians and Pennsylvanians safe and healthy,” Dinniman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
