This kit will help them prevent contacting the diseased and, moreover, these are as reusable after sanitization."Shipra Rathi of the Khajani Welfare Society, the NGO that works for jail inmates, said, "We have taken suggestions from medical professionals before preparing the kit. This is not for doctors but for those who can possibly catch infection as they work in high risk areas like sanitation workers, cops, jail staff etc."Rathi said that they have followed WHO norms of sealing the plastic kit it without stitching. The kit includes a face mask, latex gloves, shoe covers, arm covers, body cover and a cotton cap.( With inputs from IANS )
