Mum's clever hack that turns a nappy into a coronavirus mask goes viral

A mum has come up with a brilliant hack which transforms a baby's nappy into a coronavirus face-mask.

The woman shared a TikTok video of her using a nappy with a hole cut out of the middle which she then placed over her head.

She then pulls up the nappy over her face and fastens it over her ears with the sticky tabs at the side.

The video has been shared all over social media sites including Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, racking up almost 170,000 views and shares.

However, she is not the only person coming up with DIY solutions to protect themselves from catching and spreading the deadly virus.

The BBC reported that one design student had come up with PPE masks while he was on lockdown at home.

Stephen Lee, 22, has produced more than 300 masks and said he had been "inundated" with requests for them.

The UK and Scottish Governments have come under increasing pressure over shortages of PPE for NHS frontline staff.
