Ever since the coronavirus outbreak, wearing masks has become an imperative part of our lives. Doing so is important to keep coronavirus at bay.

Meanwhile, a South Korean company has launched a mask that covers the nose and can be worn while eating or drinking. The peculiar kind of mask is called ‘Kosk’, a term coined by joining the words ‘Ko’ and ‘Mask’. Ko in Korean means nose.

A company named Atman put up Kosks for sale on an online retail portal for Rs 610 (approximately $) for a box of 10 such masks. When folded up, a kosk can be used to cover the nose while a person eats or drinks. When unfolded, the mask covers mouth as well as the nose.
