In the fight against the new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 causing Covid-19), which emerged in China in 2019 and caused the illness and death of many people all over the world, preventive measures come to the fore as vaccines have not yet been produced. These are physical distance, mask use, and hygiene. The use of masks has become mandatory all over the world and the production of alternative masks continues uninterruptedly. In this study, we aimed to produce an effective and breathing mask against the virus using antiviral and aromatic vegetable oils. As a result of the study, 100% cotton fabrics dyed with anti-microbial effective herbal dyes were treated with anti-viral, breathable vegetable oils, and new types of protective masks against coronavirus were produced, and odor emission times of the produced masks were determined.
