Coronavirus: From sanitary napkins to women lingerie, people are using weird things to protect themselves from deadly virus
The Coronavirus spread fastly from China across the globe and on Thursday, India confirmed the first positive case affected by the deadly virus. Because of the excessive surgical mask supplies to other parts of the country, people are failing to purchase the mask.
Therefore, people have started making their own masks from their personal belongings.
The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak has risen to 170 and over 8000 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV have come to light.
Hence to protect oneself from the deadly virus, people have created their own masks made from a plastic bottle, fruits, motorcycle helmets. Bizarre kinds of masks that shared on social media are masks of women lingerie i.e. bra and sanitary napkins too.
