Many governmental leaders in Colorado and across the United States and across the world have stated the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE), including facial masks, particularly for those who have preexisting health issues, the elderly, and those who may have symptoms of COVID-19. During this time, there have been two local families that have been making as many masks as they can with some help from the Colorado Rockies and their communications and marketing office.
They are the Drake family and Martinez family, both of whom reside in Pueblo, roughly two hours south of Denver.
