Union Minister Smriti Irani posted Instagram stories urging the public to make face masks at home amid the Coronavirus pandemic. In the stories, 44-year-old Sriti Irani can be seen making face masks with white cloth.

Smriti Irani posted the Instagram stories shortly after the Delhi government made it mandatory for the public to wear masks when they come out from their home.

Earlier this month, the Union Health Ministry advised the public to use homemade, reusable masks.

“These face masks can be made of any clean cloth available at home. The cloth needs to be cleaned properly before being used as a face mask. It should be made in such a way that it should cover the mouth and nose completely and can be tied over the face,” the ministry had recommended.
