The rise in demand from both medical professionals and the public has left health workers worried about whether the supply will be adequate in the weeks and months ahead.

Jennifer Graham, owner of Duncan-based clothing company Salts and West, started making a few reusable masks for clients who are doctors.

Word got out and before long, she started getting requests from clinics in Canada and recently from New York.

She and her group of 10 seamstresses have been manufacturing the masks at a rate of about 60 per hour. “My seamstresses and I are already in isolation, so we can keep them as clean as possible,” said Graham, who normally creates fashionable clothing for women.
