Salwan Swidan, left, and Dhuha Ali came to Boise as refugees from Iraq more than a decade ago. Now they are bringing their lessons from surviving war to life during a pandemic.

 

Americans across the country are grappling with limited movements and a lot more time at home. For many refugees, this is familiar territory. Boise State Public Radio reporter Heath Druzin joins Idaho Matters to talk about how their insights can be valuable to coping with life under lockdown.
