| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on making a protective face cover at home.

|-
| 00:06
| In this tutorial we will learn about:

|-
| 00:10
| The need for us to wear a protective face cover.

|-
| 00:14
| Important warnings for health workers and COVID-19 patients.

|-
| 00:20
| Safety precautions regarding the protective face covers.

|-
| 00:25
| Procedure to make a protective face cover with and without a sewing machine.

|-
| 00:32
| Precautions before wearing and while removing the protective face cover.

|-
| 00:38
| Correct way to sanitize and store the protective face cover.

|-
| 00:44
| We must first understand the need to wear a protective face cover.

|-
| 00:50
| To protect ourselves from CoronaVirus, wearing a face cover is important.

|-
| 00:56
| India being densely populated, wearing a face cover is especially recommended.

|-
| 01:03
| To prevent and control Coronavirus many types of face covers are being used.

|-
| 01:10
| Among them homemade protective face cover is easy to make and can be reused too.

|-
| 01:18
| Before going ahead, please remember the important warnings.

|-
| 01:23
| Homemade face cover is not for health workers.

|-
| 01:28
| It is neither for people working with or in contact with COVID-19 patients.

|-
| 01:37
| COVID-19 patients should not use homemade face covers.

|-
| 01:42
| All such people must wear only the specified protective gear.

|-
| 01:48
| There are other safety precautions that you should always remember.

|-
| 01:53
| Homemade face covers do not give full protection.

|-
| 01:58
| They only reduce the chances of inhaling droplets in the air from an infected person.

|-
| 02:06
| Do not use the face cover without washing it.

|-
| 02:10
| Do not share your face cover with anyone.

|-
| 02:14
| Always maintain a minimum of 2 metres social distancing with everyone.

|-
| 02:21
| Frequently wash your hands with soap for 40 seconds.

|-
| 02:26
| We will now see a simple method to make a reusable face cover at home.

|-
| 02:33
| It can be made using a cotton cloth which is easily available at home.

|-
| 02:38
| While making it ensure that it covers the mouth and nose completely.

|-
| 02:44
| One should be able to tie it over the face easily.

|-
| 02:49
| Homemade face covers can be easily made with and without a sewing machine.

|-
| 02:55
| Let us first see how to make a protective face cover with a sewing machine.

|-
| 03:02
| You will need a 100% cotton cloth.

|-
| 03:06
| The colour of the cloth does not matter.

|-
| 03:10
| Before making, wash the fabric well

|-
| 03:13
| and boil it in salt water for 5 minutes.

|-
| 03:17
| Let the cloth dry properly and then use it.

|-
| 03:21
| Other items required are:

|-
| 03:23
| Four pieces of cloth strips

|-
| 03:26
| Scissors

and A sewing Machine

|-
| 03:29
| I will explain the procedure to make a protective face cover.

|-
| 03:34
| Start with cutting the cloth for the face cover.

|-
| 03:39
| For adult it should be 9 inches x 7 inches.

|-
| 03:44
| For a child it should be 7 inches x 5 inches

|-
| 03:50
| Now we will cut the strips.

|-
| 03:53
| For adult size face cover, cut 4 strips for tying and piping.

|-
| 03:59
| Two pieces each of 1.5 inches x 5 inches.

|-
| 04:05
| Also two pieces of 1.5 inches x 40 inches.

|-
| 04:11
| Attach a 1.5 inches x 5 inches strip on one end to use as piping to the fabric.

|-
| 04:19
| Create 3 pleats facing downward of about 1.5 inches each by folding the cloth.

|-
| 04:28
| Turn the pleated cloth to the other side and repeat the steps for pleating.

|-
| 04:34
| Now, the height of the cloth will be reduced from 9 inches to 5 inches.

|-
| 04:42
| Secure the pleats with piping on both sides.

|-
| 04:46
| Take extra care to keep all pleats facing downward.

|-
| 04:51
| Next, attach the long 40 inch strip to the top and bottom of the face cover.

|-
| 04:59
| Once again fold both these strips three times and stitch.

|-
| 05:05
| Your face cover is now ready to use.

|-
| 05:09
| While wearing it there should be no gaps between the face cover and your face.

|-
| 05:15
| The side facing you should show pleats facing downwards.

|-
| 05:21
| Never reverse the face cover for reuse

|-
| 05:24
| and wash it thoroughly after every use.

|-
| 05:28
| You should not touch your face or eyes.

|-
| 05:31
| Wash your hands thoroughly when you reach home.

|-
| 05:35
| Let us now see how to make a face cover without a sewing machine.

|-
| 05:41
| You will need:

100% cotton material or a men’s cotton handkerchief

|-
| 05:47
| and 2 rubber bands.

|-
| 05:50
| I will now explain the procedure to make the protective face cover.

|-
| 05:55
| Fold the handkerchief from one side to little above the middle of the cloth.

|-
| 06:01
| Now fold over the other edge to go above the first fold.

|-
| 06:07
| Fold this again evenly from the middle.

|-
| 06:11
| Take a rubber band and tie it on the left side of the cloth.

|-
| 06:15
| Now tie the other side with another rubber band.

|-
| 06:20
| Ensure that the area in the middle of the two rubber bands is big enough.

|-
| 06:25
| This will help you to cover your mouth and nose.

|-
| 06:30
| Take one edge of the cloth on the side of the rubber band and fold over it.

|-
| 06:36
| Do this for both sides.

|-
| 06:38
| Now take one fold and insert it into the other fold.

|-
| 06:43
| Your face cover is now ready to be used.

|-
| 06:47
| To wear this face cover just wrap each rubber band around your ears.

|-
| 06:53
| As mentioned earlier, ensure that the face cover fits around your mouth and nose.

|-
| 07:00
| There should be no gap in between them.

|-
| 07:04
| Follow safety precautions before wearing a protective homemade face cover.

|-
| 07:10
| Wash your hands properly before wearing the face cover.

|-
| 07:14
| As soon as the face cover becomes damp or humid, switch to another face cover.

|-
| 07:21
| After every single use of the face cover, wash it for next use.

|-
| 07:27
| Every member in a family should have a separate face cover.

|-
| 07:32
| While removing, do not touch the front or any other surface of the face cover.

|-
| 07:38
| Remove it only with strings behind or the rubber bands.

|-
| 07:43
| For string face cover, always untie the string below and then the string above.

|-
| 07:51
| After removing, immediately clean your hands with soap and water for 40 seconds.

|-
| 07:58
| You can also use 65% alcohol based hand sanitizer.

|-
| 08:04
| I will now tell you how to sanitize the face cover properly.

|-
| 08:09
| Please follow the method compulsorily.

|-
| 08:12
| Thoroughly wash the face cover with soap and warm water.

|-
| 08:17
| Dry it in hot sun for at least 5 hours.

|-
| 08:21
| Alternatively, you can use a pressure cooker to sanitize.

|-
| 08:25
| Put the face cover in water in a pressure cooker.

|-
| 08:29
| Add salt and boil it for at least 10 minutes.

|-
| 08:33
| Then, take it out and let it dry in a clean place.

|-
| 08:38
| You can also boil the face cover in hot water for 15 minutes.

|-
| 08:44
| If you do not have access to a pressure cooker or boiling water, use a soap.

|-
| 08:51
| Wash and clean with soap

|-
| 08:54
| and apply heat on the face cover for 5 minutes.

|-
| 08:59
| You may use an iron box to apply the heat.

|-
| 09:04
| It is recommended that you make at least two face covers.

|-
| 09:09
| You can wear one, while the other is washed and dried.

|-
| 09:13
| Now, let us learn how to store the clean face covers.

|-
| 09:18
| Take any plastic bag,

clean it thoroughly with soap and water.

|-
| 09:23
| Let it dry properly on both the sides.

|-
| 09:27
| Keep the extra face cover in this clean bag and seal it well.

|-
| 09:32
| You can now use your face covers one by one for daily use.

|-
| 09:38
| This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
