Just like we brush our teeth every morning, we need to make a habit of wearing masks every time we head out. And no, we don't need the N95 or surgical masks, which should be left for the use of the health workers. Simple DIY masks, made of any good quality cotton cloth with a tight weave can go a long way in keeping ourselves and people around us safe. Alternatively, you can also use a handkerchief or a dupatta. As these celebs show us, let’s be safe and be a part of the #MaskIndia initiative.

The health ministry has given out an advisory asking us to wear masks every time we step out. Please make it mandatory to wear a mask on and even if you don’t have one, you can always make one at home.

I always sport bandanas while I play, so I prefer covering up my face using a bandana. Let’s #MaskIndia whenever we need to step out, to fight the spread of coronavirus pandemic.

I made this mask using cotton material that I found in my house. My friends and I have been making and distributing such masks.

When you step out, always wear a mask. Leave the N95 masks for the healthcare professionals. You can protect yourselves with masks made of dupattas or scarves.

I’ve fashioned two eye masks into one COVID-19 mask. I wore one and then the other. They sit perfectly. And this mask is lined with two layers!

We need to take masks seriously as the need of the hour is to prevent the spread of the contagion. And the best part is, you can make a mask in your home!

I made this out of a grocery bag! And, of course, as our mothers have been telling us for years — don’t forget to wash your hands.
