MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Coronavirus outbreak has prompted an outcry from healthcare professionals who are experiencing a nationwide shortage of equipment to take care of patients.
A group of nurses in Wisconsin is stepping up to help stop the spread one thread stitch at a time.
The Wisconsin Nurses honor guard has more than 250 members statewide. Its main mission is to travel the state to honor nurses who have passed for their lifetime of service dedicated to taking care of others.
With social distancing guidelines temporarily postponing the organization's mission, the nurses have switched gears to help fulfill the need for personal protective equipment.
Nurses around the state are making handmade masks that will be distributed to healthcare professionals in need.
