KDKA says that the wife of Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, Kiya Tomlin, is doing her part to help healthcare workers on the frontlines fighting Coronavirus.
As CEO of Kiya Tomlin Fashion, Tomlin and her team have been sewing washable masks for healthcare workers. They've already donated 300 masks for Pittsburgh-area hospitals and hand-sewn another 500 masks last week.
While the masks won't completely prevent virus spread, Tomlin is developing a mask that could hold a filter to work as well as N95 masks.
