Abstract

The understated very basic precautionary measures are intended for the poorer section of the society who cannot afford or have access to masks, gloves, or other resources: 1. Please follow the directions of the local authorities and the society for preventive actions to be taken. Most importantly Stay At Home and avoid contact with others. 2. A cloth the size of a large hanky can be folded three or four times and a piece of elastic can be stitched on at the ends to make a mask. This should be good enough unless you are in contact with a suspected or known positive case of Covid 19. This mask can be boiled, sundried and if possible, hot iron pressed for reuse. Onepart bleach and 4 parts waters can also be used to soak it for 30 minutes before wash. Those who cannot even stitch can simply fold it twice and tie against the back of the head. This will also help you in not touching the nose or eyes.
