Coronavirus: Young widows

Women who have founded a support group after losing their husbands to Covid-19

Each Covid-19 death has a tremendous personal impact on loved ones. Host Nuala McGovern talks to three women who have lost their husbands to the disease. Their Facebook group 'Young Widows and Widowers of Covid-19鈥� is supporting others in the same situation. They call it 鈥渢he club that nobody wants to join鈥�. We also hear from three people in South Africa, Australia and the US who share the unexpected social consequences - both positive and negative - of wearing face masks when you have a facial disfigurement or difference.
