The clip shared by Anand Mahindra shows a woman making a DIY facemask out of simple items one can find in at home.
The cases of novel coronavirus have dismally increased for the past few days. Several reports of shortage of face masks, hand sanitisers and toilet paper were also reported. Amidst this, business tycoon Anand Mahindra shared a clip that presented a tutorial for making one’s own protective face mask.
The clip shows a woman making a DIY facemask out of simple items one can find in at home. The woman takes a square piece of a tissue paper and folds it in a fan-like shape. She then takes two rubber bands and fastens them at either side of the tissue with a stapler. After that she is seen wearing the home-made mask which looks pretty similar to the ones sold in stores.
“No more shortage of masks?? And I thought Indians were the masters of jugaad!” reads Mahindra’s caption.

Posted on March 11, the video has garnered more than 8,000 likes and mixed reactions from netizens. People came up with various other kinds of handcrafted masks to showcase their jugaad skills.
Here are some hilarious examples:
While some praised the simple hack, others found the idea of a tissue paper mask neither useful nor safe.
