With lessons learnt from the recent lockdowns that restricted movement between local borders, the community must be empowered to locally produce face masks and other PPEs to prepare for further lockdown that may come. Instead of procuring face masks from urban areas, we need to establish a local based solution that will allow the community to produce their products to reduce all costs related to procurement from outside and to guarantee the production of face masks during the lockdown.
