COLUMBUS - Many have taken to making homemade masks to help with the spread of COVID-19, but one Nebraska hospital says that won't help them.

Columbus Community Hospital says they are not accepting deliveries or drop-offs of homemade masks at this time.

Hospital officials say they are accepting donations of manufactured N-95 and surgical masks. They've been working with businesses in the area to get those donations coordinated.

CCH officials say if they do need homemade masks donated, they will ask for them with specific instructions on how to make them.
