How do you make a mask holder?
As hospitals and government agencies scramble for protective gear for medical staff dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, more businesses are attempting to enter the mask-making market. A Texas businessman, a corporation that produces pet pee pads, and a former medical-supply executive in Singapore are all investing in equipment or retooling production lines to produce medical-grade face mask holders. New entrants, on the other hand, face the same problem as existing mask makers: a scarcity of critical supplies and equipment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States is advising the general public not to wear face mask holders if they are safe, stating that the supply should be kept for healthcare employees. According to healthcare officials, the expanding U.S. epidemic is rapidly depleting scarce remaining resources at several hospitals, and government backstops aren't keeping up. 3M Co. has increased production of N95 face masks to 1.1 billion
