These masks will be distributed at various shelter homes of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board. 

Savita Kovind was seen covering her face with a red colour cloth mask while stitching the masks.

 

The ministry of home affairs has made it compulsory for everyone to wear face covers at all time at work or public spaces and gatherings such as weddings or funerals.

The masks, which are commonly in use since to contain corona spread, are cloth masks, three-layered surgical masks, and N95 respirator.
