Covid-19 keeps us in check. In addition to Zoom meetings, online sports and WhatsApp cocktails, the mask in particular has become a new accessory in our everyday lives. Instead of those old blue things that remind us of the operating theater and hospital, we prefer to wear stylish protective masks. FACES shows a selection of his favorites.
