Decision to wear one 'altruistic' says Dr Ewart

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:
