Cloth face coverings—request yours today!

The use of face coverings can slow the spread of COVID-19 by preventing the release of respiratory droplets into the environment. Wearing a face covering is a complementary public health measure, not a replacement for established preventive measures, which include social distancing, respiratory etiquette, hand washing and avoiding touching of the face, nose, eyes and mouth with hands.​

A group of volunteers in KAUST known as “The Masketeers” have donated their time to make reusable cloth face coverings. KAUST has also purchased reusable cloth face coverings from a manufacturer in Jeddah. We are making these limited stocks available to the community free of charge on a first come, first served basis.

Request cloth face coverings

To request face coverings, please complete this form before Sunday, May 17. Following your request, you will receive an email specifying the delivery date of the cloth face coverings at your home. They will be left at your front door by the Boy Scouts, who have undergone a specific training about safety measures and who will provide a contactless delivery. Please wash the cloth face coverings before using them for the first time.

Please note: Do not use a face covering on children under two years of age.
