@masketjetzt Staying at home and washing your hands, there is one thing we can all do now to stop the virus. And this is: mask on! Professional medical masks are currently scarce and we definitely don't want to take them away from medical staff! But you can make an effective mask yourself at home. From old T-shirts, kitchen towels, kitchen paper or even vacuum cleaner bags. Really, no joke! According to studies, this protects almost as well as the medical masks. But not primarily you. But the others in front of you. Because at Corona, we can all be contagious without realizing it. Especially young people. And that's why we should all wear a mask. To reduce the number of infections. So: it has never been so easy to do the right thing. Simply tinker, raise whenever you come into contact with others. And be a role model in this crisis. You can find all information on maskeauf.de. And if your mask looks better than ours, post a photo with the hashtag #maskeauf. Thanks a lot!

Lena Meyer-Landrut draws attention to the "#Maskeauf" campaign on Instagram. And that's mainly about protecting others:

Lena also reveals what you can make your own mask out of – for example with the help of old clothes or even a vacuum cleaner bag. Because the medical masks, the singer emphasizes, are still more important for medical personnel.

The Instagram page "Maskeaufjetzt" already shows numerous well-known faces with face masks. Charlotte Roche joins Jan Böhmermann and Joko Winterscheidt, who quickly converted his bandana into a mask.

As a doctor has already confirmed to BRIGITTE.de, it is currently not necessary to wear a medical breathing mask to protect yourself against the coronavirus – but a face mask, be it a scarf, a scarf or an old shirt, can save other lives. Because if the symptoms are lacking, we cannot know whether we are carrying the virus – but we can prevent it from spreading.
