Have your say: Are you wearing a face mask yet to stop the spread of COVID-19?

  • 13/08/2020

Amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in New Zealand, the Government is urging Kiwis to start wearing face masks when outside their bubbles.

Masks are now compulsory for flights out of Auckland and encouraged elsewhere, after the Government's Tuesday evening announcement triggered an Auckland level 3 lockdown and saw the rest of the country move to level 2. 

In an address to the country on Wednesday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern asked that Aucklanders "please cover your face when leaving your home to access services operating at level 3".

"While we're not mandating their general use at this stage, we're strongly encouraging their use in the general Auckland region," she said.

So tell us, are you wearing a mask yet? Have your say below.
