With the Covid-19 spreading and affecting daily life in Japan, consumer co-ops nationwide are taking various measures. Here is the introduction of Co-op Aichi's efforts.

At the day care center operated by Co-op Aichi in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, cloth masks were made by the staff and the users of the facility.

Due to the serious shortage of masks nationwide, a day care center user expressed concern by saying, "I want to make masks for the staff who have no surgical masks, but I cannot go to buy cloths and elastic cords." In response to her voice, the facility staff prepared the necessary materials and she and other facility users enjoyed making cloth masks as part of the functional training of care receivers. The finished masks were supplied to the facility staff and users.
