We need these fabric stores to remain open to provide fabric, thread, and elastic to make masks for healthcare workers. These fabric stores MUST BE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL.

Why would you cut access off to material stores when people are buying material to make MASKS for essential workers, family and friends. You are REQUIRING that people wear masks and none are available in stores to buy. Open the fabric stores....we have been wearing masks while waiting in line with 6 ft distancing.

Need to keep FM open. How are volunteer groups supposed to support this local business and gather fabric and materials needed for masks?

How we suppose to help everyone or ourselves if we can’t make mask. We need to help each other.

Stores supplying Materials to make masks for personal use as well as to donate to healthcare facilities is as essential as hardware stores.

As a nurse practitioner, I am astounded. You'd think they want us dead. Shame.

Absolutely- we are all being encouraged to make and use these masks and how should we do that without supplies.

I would like to know why you have determined that the fabric stores are nonessential businesses one week after you recommended that everyone wear a fabric mask. How do you think these FABRIC masks are made? Do you think FABRIC Mart and similar stores may have a part in supplying the materials for their production?

Please re-open fabric stores. Sewists need fabric, thread, elastic etc. to make face masks for people.
