Coronavirus: University researchers develop respiratory hood

Researchers have developed protective equipment which they say could reduce the risk of NHS staff being infected by the coronavirus.

A team at The University of Southampton say their PeRSo hood is better than a mask because it fits everybody and can be worn for long periods without having to be removed.

The prototype device has a fan that filters air into the hood and is being trialled by NHS staff in Southampton.
