Summary: This protocol describes a simple way to make a mask at home using the cotton or linen woven fabric available in wearable cloth or household napkin. Fabric is soaked in a solution containing the table salt (NaCl) and starch. Starch is used to increase the droplet absorption efficiency of fabric whereas salt is added for improving the virus deactivation system. These simple preparation and wearing techniques will help anyone to prepare a mask for safety during COVID-19 pandemic, especially for those people having masks of little avail or no avail. .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; }
