Holly Seale - Masks in our Future?

Evidence shows masks are effective at reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

However, masks won’t always be compulsory, particularly outside outbreak situations. In most Australian states and territories at present, masks are not mandatory but are recommended in certain settings, such as where physical distancing is difficult.

But moving forward — as more people get vaccinated and outbreaks hopefully become fewer and smaller — is mask use likely to stick?

Holly Seale is an associate professor from UNSW and she was on the show to answer this questions today.
