The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is transmitted via respiratory droplets and the use of simple facial masks that exercise a barrier function that blocks the large projectile droplets that reach the nose or throat. The proposed action focused on the use of homemade facial masks as a symbol of respect and solidarity, fundamental feelings for facing COVID-19. Digital means were used to disseminate scientific information and encourage the use of masks, in addition to proposing models and prototypes of masks development through UFG’s Instagram posts. The action received the engagement of 2436 individuals. The university, by occupying the media, has contributed to reducing the risk of inappropriate attitudes on the part of those who receive the information. The COVID-19 pandemic will have profound repercussions on social life. The university must assume its social responsibility to produce knowledge, translate it and promote it among the community.
