A Singapore Sikh couple
has produced reusable face masks for Sikhs with turban and beard. And they are
ready to customise the face mask to cater for the type of the nose bridge as
well as the beard.
As the novel
coronavirus pandemic began digging in, Nirman Singh realised conventional masks
were not designed for turbaned Sikhs.
“It was very
uncomfortable. Since our ears are covered, putting the mask on and off was also
difficult and cumbersome. Also, often, the beard gets pushed into my mouth,”.
Nirman and his wife
Surinder Kaur then began working on a solution. And they believe they have come
up with the perfect solution as people globally are still battling the Covid-19
pandemic.
“To put-on and remove
the mask easily, we incorporated a velcro strap and we also have filtered masks
for those who want extra precautions,” he said.
"My intention is
not to make money but give back to the Sikh community," said Mr Nirman.
"I have given out the masks to needy Sikhs at the gurdwara.
"If anyone is
willing to sponsor, I will make more and distribute it among migrant workers.
The turbaned Sikhs among them will need it the most."
The face masks are
made of washable cotton and polyester for the inside lining.https://asiasamachar.com/2020/07/25/face-mask-to-fit-turban-and-beard/
