<p>The riddle starts by raising a question, "Who am I?" It then goes on to gives numerous clues such as "I save lives" and "Don&rsquo;t leave me behind at home please" among others. It is not that difficult to guess the answer because it has become an important part of our lifestyle since the outbreak of the novel <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/coronavirus-all" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>coronavirus</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>Hand sanitiser? Gloves? No! It is the face mask without which one cannot step out of the house. Since being shared, the post has collected over 700 likes and nearly 100 retweets. One user commented, "Wow that's a great one and awesome," while another wrote, "Mask is my safety."</p>
