Actor Vivek Gopan urges all to wear a mask

The government is now recommending the use of masks to the public, not just health workers and patients. The recommendation is that people wear homemade masks to protect themselves and prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

Actor Vivek Gopan joined the

#MaskIndia

campaign of The Times of India, and requested people to wear homemade masks when stepping out of the house. He says, “Wearing a mask, whenever we step out of the house, has become essential during this time. But choose a cloth mask or handkerchief, as surgical and N95 masks are needed for health workers who are serving at the forefront in the battle against Covid-19”.
