Free Face Masks in Indian Lake
Indian Lake--To help control the spread of COVID-19 within our communities, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that a cloth face mask covering be worn by all in the public. During the week, Governor Cuomo issued an Executive Order requiring that all people in New York wear a mask or a face covering when out in public and in situations when social distancing cannot be maintained.
In an effort to help lessen the transmission of this virus volunteers of the Indian Lake North Country Crafters are constructing face masks and making them available to their fellow residents. Additional contributions of face masks from other individuals and organizations are welcomed and needed. Mask contributions should be dropped off at Pines Country Store and will be distributed in individually sealed packages.
Face masks will be available free of charge starting Friday, April 17 at Pines Country Store (see counter attendant) in the hamlet of Indian Lake and in the vestibule of the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake. Organizers request that face masks be limited to one mask per individual while supplies are available.
Wearing a face mask is no guarantee of not being infected with or spreading COVID-19. However, this practice has been shown to substantially reduce transmission rates when combined with social distancing of 6 feet or more, frequent hand washing with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds and avoidance of hand contact with nose, mouth and eyes.
Organizations and the business who partnered to create and offer this much-needed community project include the following:
Adirondack Foundation: Sudden and Urgent Needs Fund
Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts
Blue Mountain Center: Hamilton Helps Project
Indian Lake Community Development Corporation
North Country Crafters
Pine’s Country Store
For further program information, please contact Brenda Valentine- Indian Lake Community Development Corporation- 518-648-5636 or Sawyer Cresap-Blue Mountain Center -518-301-3319
