Qasa asks, how do you feel about facemasks? Should the government make face masks compulsory in UK?

Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Shabnam Mahmood. After that we’ll be hearing from journalists in India and Pakistan on how the two counties are dealing with Covid-19. Then Qasa wants to know, how do you feel about facemasks? Should the government make then compulsory for everyone? An NHS supply-chain boss thinks that’s a bad idea because it would mean there are fewer available for front line workers, who are already short of protective gear. Plus, our reporter Pria Rai has been looking into how alcoholics and those in recovery have been affected by the lockdown. This comes after new research suggests that Brits are drinking less alcohol while restrictions are in place.
