<p>‘Jack’ is an undocumented migrant living in the Netherlands. He told us “I lost my face mask on my way to work. I couldn’t take a bus or tram: if the controller caught me, I’d be fined. Worse, since I am undocumented, I’d be put in prison and deported to the Philippines. I had no choice but to walk for 40 minutes to my second job, under the burning sun.” He solved his problem later by making a face mask out of a cleaning cloth.</p> <p><br></p> <p>-----</p> <p>This material is part of the <a href="https://cov19chronicles.com/" target="_blank">Covid Chronicles from the Margins</a> project, funded by The Open University and The Hague.
