Coronavirus: Face masks - a podcast by BBC World Service

Face coverings have been part of the fight against the spread of the virus in many countries but the debate around them continues. Israel has been one of the most successful countries in the world in tackling the pandemic but, just days after lifting the requirement of wearing face masks indoors, the restriction was reimposed. The decision was made after a rise in Covid cases due to the Delta variant. We also hear from two students in Italy about their feelings now that they are allowed to go outdoors without a face mask for the first time since October 2020.
