Muenster » He is on everyone’s lips at the moment, but it should be better in front of it. The mouthguard is meant. The cloth in front of the mouth and nose is said to better protect the population from the spread of the coronavirus. That is why Austria has already obliged its citizens to wear a face mask in supermarkets. There is still no such regulation in Germany, but some cities – including Hanau – strongly recommend that their citizens only go out with a mask.
“Reasonable,” says Katja Czajkowski. The 34-year-old from Munster and her family only go outside with a face mask.

There are enough face masks at Czajkowski because the mother of two children sews them herself.
On her blog, www.naehfrosch.de shows Katja Czajkowski’s video instructions for sewing a protective mask for mouth and nose, as well as patterns and information about the suitable fabrics. Both are not safety masks that correspond to the official protection categories. Nevertheless, the clothes do an important job in reducing the risk of infection, says Czajkowski. “The fabric mouthguard creates a barrier and, above all, protects other people from the droplets that escape when coughing, sneezing or when speaking,” she explains. In addition, the mouthguard always reminds the wearer not to touch each other’s faces.
