But when Perak Women for Women co-founder Yip Siew Keen and member Lee Su Win learned about Januma's sewing machine, they made a proposal to the 48-year-old that she could not resist.Since starting the venture at the end of April, Januma has made at least 80 face masks daily.“I will first cut the cloth before sewing it,” she said, adding that she alternates the process by cutting the cloth one day and sewing them into face masks the next day.
AP recently reported that the World Health Organisation had recommended that people should wear fabric masks when social distancing was not possible.WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was also reported as saying that people over the age of 60 or had underlying medical conditions should wear masks in situations where social distancing could not be kept.
