Reminder - Face Masks
A reminder to all that if you live within metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire, you must wear a face covering whenever you leave your home, unless an exception applies. A face covering needs to cover both your nose and mouth. It could be a face mask or shield.
With regard to wearing a mask during SPORTING ACTIVITY, the DHHS website states the following exemptions:
- Professional sportspeople when training or competing.
- When the individual is doing any exercise or physical activity where they are out of breath or puffing; examples include jogging or running but not walking. You must have a face covering on you and wear it when you finish exercising.
REMEMBER THAT WHENEVER YOU LEAVE YOUR HOME YOU ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR A FACE COVERING THAT COVERS BOTH YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH.
Similarly, if you live outside metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire and must travel inside these areas, for necessary goods and services, medical care and caregiving, or study or work, you MUST WEAR A FACE COVERING.
Please visit the DHHS website for complete information around this new condition that came into force at midnight 22 July night.
