<p>An initiative called CLIU has come up with a special type of mask that has left netizens baffled. Interestingly, the face mask has a transparent covering around the mouth area. Yes, you heard us right! This unique design has left <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/twitter-all" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Twitter</strong> </span></a>divided as to whether they should wear this mask or not.</p>
