The three-week lockdown was lifted in Ghana at the end of April as the economic ramifications became unbearable for much of the population who are daily wage earners in the informal sector.

The design and production process is a meticulous one -- it takes about five to 10 working days from start to finish, Ofori-Atta said. The masks are made from three layers, per the standard set by Ghana's Food and Drugs Authority. The first is an external layer made of 100% cotton, which can be colored or patterned. The second is an inner layer, called a"stiffener," that helps to keep the mold of the mask.
