Recommendations for using a cloth face mask
The government requires everyone in Victoria to wear a face mask, both indoors and outdoors, except if you are at home, or if you have an exemption applies. Face masks must be carried at all times.
In the following video, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer, Brett Sutton demonstrates how to wear a face mask correctly.
“I recommend a cloth mask, made of three layers of a mix of breathable fabrics, to ensure adequate protection,” Mr Sutton said.
“A mask should fit securely around the face, specifically covering your nose and mouth areas. The mask should fit snugly on your face and be secured by ties at the back of your head or ear loops.”
