Making of No-Cost Face Masks at Home to Prevent the Spread of the Coronavirus
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in India has created a three-minute video called “Making of No-Cost Face Masks at Home to Prevent the Spread of the Coronavirus“. It has been uploaded separately in 12 other major Indian languages thus enabling the free face mask message to be understood throughout rural and urban India, and have been designed specifically for poor and lower middle class households, including for non-readers.
These short videos demonstrate how these vulnerable families can easily make no-cost face masks/coverings at home, use them hygienically and observe related precautions. They can be used by all those working in government agencies, and NGOs in health, community and adult education/school programmes and any awareness-raising activities related to Covid-19.
The list of the video in 12 major Indian languages is below.
