COVID face masks are now compulsory in Victoria and may soon become mandatory in New South Wales and Queensland. With COVID-19 Stage 4 restrictions now in place for Metropolitan Victoria and Stage 3 restrictions coming into place for regional Vcitoria, it is essential that all Victorians wear protective reusable COVID face masks or disposable face masks while out of their homes. There are additionally strong indications that residents of New South Wales and potentially Queensland will soon be forced to wear a personal protection face mask while outside of their homes.
