Bearys Institute of Technology students design masks to fight coronavirus
Mangaluru: The Bearys Institute of Technology (BIT) students have come up with homemade masks to protect from coronavirus.
Afeefa and Priya who are pursuing computer Science Engineering have designed the mask which is made from easily available materials at home like cloth bag, elastic, needle and thread.
The students told they wanted to do something on their part to fight this pandemic. "With the shortage of PPE and N95 masks, it's our duty to make masks at home and use so that the N95 masks are easily available for the medical professionals and others who are fighting against coronavirus directly," they said.
Syed Mohamed Beary, Chairman of Bearys group appreciated the students for their efforts and concern. Principal Dr. SI Manjur Basha lauded the timely action of the students. The Heads and faculties of BIT Engineering, Polytechnic and BEADS distributed the masks locally.
