mask4all@india project has been providing free masks to under privileged persons. For the distribution of masks to needy project coordinator Dr Praveen Tandon who is a physician in Lucknow associated himself with Mangalman abhiyan. Let’s know more about the project mask4all@India….
Fact- We can only get over the Corona crisis by minimising the person to person transmission till effective vaccine is developed. By our wearing a face mask a healthy human is not that much protected from COVID as much as when a Corana patient or a silent carrier of the disease is wearing a face mask.
We cannot remain in Lockdown for ever but we make every one wear a face mask to minimise the transmission of the disease and thus Lockdown the virus spread.
With this thing in mind this Project was started
Aim of the project- To provide free reusable washable multilayered cloth face mask to people in need and also to develop awareness regarding the benefits of the face mask.
