The Pro-Mask Movement

BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, The Pro-Mask Movement

Bernardine Evaristo on why wearing a mask these days is the least we can do.

Bernardine Evaristo on why "communal effort and community spirit" by everyone will be vital to get us through the pandemic and out the other side.

"As a fully fledged luvvie," writes Bernardine Evaristo, "practically every greeting and farewell is accompanied by a kiss or hug."
But these days hugs feel like a distant memory and, she argues, wearing a mask is the least we can do.   
"It's an act of compassion, self-protection and a commitment towards the survival of our fellow humans, our country, our world." 

Producer: Adele Armstrong
