This man couldn't get a face mask, so he made one out of a pomelo instead

As the country faces the threat of the 2019 novel coronavirus, someone managed to spread some good vibes online.

According YouScooper Myra Villaflor, a man in Tagum City was troubled by the dwindling supply of face masks, so he fashioned his own out of a... pomelo.

The man, who didn't expect to go viral on the internet, clarified that he only made his DIY mask for laughs.

All jokes aside, health officials strongly recommend the wearing of face masks, along with stringent sanitation measures, frequent handwashing, proper cough etiquette, and the use of alcohol or hand sanitizer.
