Coronavirus: Disability workers sew their own face masks

From Morning Report, 8:09 am on 31 March 2020

Workers looking after disabled people are sewing their own face masks to keep themselves safe from Covid-19, and others are considering not going to work at all until they get the right equipment.

Now the Disability Rights Commissioner, Paula Tesoriero is urging the Government to change its advice that community care workers do not need masks.
