Things of life saving causing dangers: After removing the mask from their face, people throw it here and there in the streets. Most of the masks are manufactured from long-lasting plastic materials and can produce millions of particles with the possibility of carrying chemicals and bacteria. Besides these discarded masks may risk spreading Coronavirus to waste collectors or other people. Animals and plants can also be affected. Moreover they are also destroying the biodiversity of the oceans. At the bottom in this group is a handwritten notice by the homeowner encouraging people to stay home to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
