Cut Down on Waste by Choosing Reusable COVID Masks

November 27, 2020 by helpdesk1

Some of those re-usable masks that we’ve been wearing to guard against COVID infections, aren’t exactly great for the environment. Mike Wilson hosts the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rockland’s “Storm Water Consortium” show here on WRCR, and says besides the added litter we’ve been dealing with, some masks can take 450 years to decompose…

Wilson says re-usable masks can cut down on tons of plastic and medical waste.

COVID-19 by the numbers now, here in Rockland, we’ve got 4 in the hospital being examined, another 61 have been confirmed with coronavirus, and a total of 1,559 active cases. The state says since the crisis began, we’ve had a total of 20,942 reported cases, 118 more than Wednesday, and the number of deaths in the county since the pandemic began remains at 695.
