On April 4th, the CDC officially began recommending more widespread use of cloth masks by people who do not show any symptoms of COVID-19. The aim of this recommendation is to reduce transmission of COVID-19 from people who are infected but not showing symptoms.

In recognition of the recommendation, a group of ingenious employees at United Power proposed having a local seamstress make cloth masks from extra yellow fire resistant shirts for our linemen. The first batch of masks were handed out to linemen earlier this week, and more are in production. Masks will be delivered to linemen at the Carbon Valley Service Center and Coal Creek offices once more are available.
