Debate Surrounding N95 Masks with Doctor Amanda Kvalsvig: January 25, 2022

The annoucenment of an Omicron outbreak in New Zealand came with encouragement by the government to wear N95 masks over the typical disposable and cloth masks. However, with considerably low stocks of these masks in New Zealand and a sense of fear that alternative masks are no longer useful from the government, many are concerned about how they can protect themselves from Omicron. Emily Bell spoke with Doctor Amanda Kvalsvig, an epidemiologist from Otago University's campus in Wellington about the N95 masks and what people can do to protect themselves from Omicron.
