New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern shares her experiences in making her own face covering ahead of the country enforcing the wearing of face masks on public transport.
With restrictions to scale back on Sunday, Ms Ardern said in a Facebook post she was taking matters into her own hands before masks become compulsory on public transport across the country the following day.At a meeting with local community health leader Dave Letele, "one of the things we talked about was face coverings, and how to make your own at home," Ms Ardern, who faces a general election in October, wrote in the post.
"I had a go at making one," she added, alongside a photo of a patch of fabric, scissors and two elastic hair ties."That's my first time crafting," she said. "I'm going to pull out my glitter gun later." About 150 people have been diagnosed as part of the cluster that originated in Auckland, which is home to 1.7 million people, but daily new case numbers have slowed to single digits this week.
On Friday, New Zealand reported five new cases in Auckland and seven more in quarantine after arriving from overseas.What you need to know about coronavirus:
