Decision to wear one 'altruistic' says Dr Ewart
The director of Public Health says the decision to wear a face mask during the Covid-19 pandemic is “an altruistic one”.
In Jersey, residents are now being advised to use cloth face masks when going into public, after a U-turn in advice from senior medical professionals there.
Speaking at a press conference this week, Dr Henrietta Ewart said it’s good for people to do so, as long as they’re aware of the actual benefits:
Business confidence cools as costs climb and demand outlook weakens, survey finds
Rising labour and energy expenses dominate concerns, while optimism around future demand and profitability remains muted
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
MHKs challenge MiCard scrap after constitutent dissatisfaction
