Partha Sarathi Ray has appealed to people not to venture outdoors without donning masks. He also requested people to wear masks made at home and avoid using those required by frontline workers.
“I have seen many people wearing N95 masks. But they should know that these highly protective masks are required by doctors and health workers. We, the common people, have the option to wear homemade ones. We can cover our mouth and nose with a clean cloth, handkerchief or scarf,” he said.
He also said that whenever he steps out of his house, he wears homemade masks. “I mostly try not to step out. But when I have to, I usually tie a clean cloth around my mouth and nose,” he said, urging people to do the same.
