People in countries like Japan and Hong Kong have been wearing face masks in public for many years as protection from pollution, but as the world now grapples with the increasing spread of COVID-19 medical professionals are advising everyone to wear masks in public places like supermarkets, or wherever we are unable to maintain the minimum 1.5m physical distance. The Government has just announced that wearing masks will be mandatory (with a $200 on the spot fine if you leave home without one!) and so there's been a mad rush on face masks here in Melbourne with many chemists and online stores quickly selling out of surgical and fabric masks.To save you time, I have put together a comprehensive list of sellers - simply scroll down!
While wearing a face mask does not provide 100% protection from contracting COVID-19 it is another tool we can use to help slow the spread until we have a vaccine (potentially 12 - 24 months away). Our COVID-19 toolbox now includes:keep 1.5 physical distance from others- wearing a face mask in public- washing hands regularly with soap & water &/ or hand sanitiser- sneezing and coughing into our elbows or a tissue- staying home if we are feeling unwell- calling the GP & getting tested if we have cold or flu symptomsYou can find more information about wearing face masks at the Department of Health and Human Services website here .So, it seems that wearing a mask in public is about to become the norm for all of us in the coming months and possibly even years.If you haven't already purchased a face mask, here's a list of places who are selling them. Please note - some are currently sold out but I'm including them in the list as I'm sure they will get more stock at some stage.

I have just picked up some disposable masks from Chemist Warehouse and this dragonfly print fabric mask from Etsy. But with so many pretty masks now available, I might have to pick up another fabric one or two...


Wearing your mask correctly - over your mouth, nose and chin - is important, so please take some time to check out this info from the World Health Organisation (WHO): https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks




Finally, there's a lot of speculation, fear-mongering and rumours going around especially on social media and sometimes in the news - so, make sure you seek out the latest advice and info from credible and reputable sources and experts such as the Australian Department of Health here .I'll update this list as and when I come across more - please feel free to comment below with any additional suggestions or questions. Stay home, stay safe, and let's work together to beat this virus and save lives!
