Coronavirus: Clear masks made to help lip-reading deaf people
A woman has sewn more than 100 protective masks that enable lip-reading to help deaf people feel"safe and included".
The use of face masks is mandatory on public transport, in hospitals and in some enclosed areas to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. Ms Cross, a furloughed pub worker from Cranbrook, Exeter, who has been shielding because she has rheumatoid arthritis, has also been donating plain masks as she wants coverings to become a"natural" thing.
"When I tell people I lip read it means they have to touch their face to pull it down to communicate with me and then put it back on when the conversation is completed," she said.
