Can't buy a mask to protect from COVID-19? Scouts are always prepared! Lionel, a scout in Hong Kong, shows how to use his neckerchief and a paper towel.
Video produced for JOTI 2020 Jamboree on the Internet Special Edition.
Many people infected with COVID-19 do not show symptoms - and could transmit the new coronavirus while speaking at close range, or sneezing, coughing.
Many studies point out that if everyone wears a surgical mask, this could provide up to 70% protection. This should be coupled with social distancing, and frequently washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
There's a great shortage of masks, and health care workers and the most vulnerable should have priority. If you can't get a mask, there are many ways to make your own. You could fold a tee-shirt in half, and insert one or two sheets of kitchen roll/ tissue in the middle.
