Epanesan Niviya stitches face masks to sell in Kondavil, Jaffna. Nivya works as a seamstress, but the curfew imposed by the Sri Lankan government due to the coronavirus has halted her normal business. Nivya says she sews 30 to 40 face masks per day and sells them for 100 Sri Lankan rupees (53 cents) each.
