IBMSpod Episode 7 - Facemasks and Lockdown Lifting

Infectious disease expert at Oxford University Helene-Mari van der Westhuizen joins us to discuss the use of face masks as lockdown lifts. Zoe Andrews speaks to LabLife.

Helene-Mari van der Westhuizen joins us to explore how face masks have taken off across the world in response to COVID-19. We examined how these simple pieces of cloth, which are known to reduce transmission of COVID-19, have become social and political symbols. We also considered how their usage will continue as the UK exits lockdown.

This month's LabLife features Guernsey-based healthcare assistant Zoe Andrews speaks to us about what life has been like since lockdown ended on the channel island in March.
