According to her, it is an element of the mask protest.

People's Deputy of Ukraine from the Servant of the People party Yelizaveta Bogutskaya arrived at parliament in an unusual knitted mask with large holes. She posted a photo of herself in this mask, but later deleted it. Bogutskaya then explained on Facebook why she came to parliament wearing such a mask.

Initially, Bogutskaya wrote: "This morning, when entering parliament, it turned out that my temperature barely reaches 34 degrees. I'm cooling down. Later I understood the reason. The virus has died. It could not overcome the barrier of my signature mask!".

This is not a string bag. Nor is it a lace mask. Nor is it a sexual accessory. It is an element of the mask protest. A hint of mask idiocy. A protest against the abnormal quarantine and even more abnormal decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers.

Bogutskaya was outraged by the statement of Ukraine's chief sanitary doctor Viktor Lyashko that in June beaches will open on the seas, since sea salt and ultraviolet kill the coronavirus. Although ultraviolet can also be obtained in parks, they were under a ban.

"Now about sea salt. The skin itself is a protective barrier against the virus penetrating inside. Therefore, bathing in the sea merely strengthens immunity, as does the sun, but as an antiviral agent it is absolutely pointless. And apparently, rinsing the throat with sea water will not come to that. Vigilant citizens will decide that the water is dirty (which is true) and that one can get infected with the damned virus through it," wrote Bogutskaya.
