HYDERABAD: South India's heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda urged people to leave the medical masks for doctors and other health care workers who are fighting against COVID-19. Instead of masks, he requested people to use homemade masks.

Take a look at his tweet here:

My loves,
Hope you are all staying safe

Cloth face covering will help slow disease spread.

Leave the medical masks for doctors and instead
Use a handkerchief
Use a scarf or
Use your mom's Chunni.

Cover your face, stay safe.#MaskIndia pic.twitter.com/8Zv2uNdP5a
