The Victorian Government has flagged that when Melbourne's six-week lockdown is over, wearing masks will be an 'important feature' of the state's coronavirus response. If you're having trouble finding one, we've put together a quick guide on how to make your own.

Authorities have told residents of Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire that if they can't keep 1.5 metres from people in the coming weeks, they should wear a mask.

Premier Daniel Andrews has also flagged that when the six-week lockdown ends, wearing masks will remain an "important feature" in Victoria's response to the pandemic. Store-bought cloth or surgical masks are an option but there is also the satisfaction which can come from making your own.

Shows how privileged we are here. The hysteria with the toilet paper, pasta, masks is absolutely disgusting. A land that knows not of war, famine or hardship. A bunch of entitled fkwits who panic when there is a cloud in the sky.

Boycottmaskwearing

jessisstressed5 here you go !!

Nope

Where is your ROGER STONE story?

You know how they had us phone our doctors because the waiting rooms may people with Covid, you know how they had us queue in our cars for Covid tests, you know how they now want us to wear masks 3 months later and you know how we now queue indoors for Covid tests...yeah that

Pay no attention at all to the people who oppose mask wearing. They're uninformed, illogical, and probably in a Russian Troll farm.

Omg, you guys at the ABC are just trolling us now, lol!

Home made mask

And will it be the correct material to prevent transmission? Will it be correctly fitted? What temperature do you wash it? How often to do change the mask - when it get damp its not ineffective? What about touching it before you wash your hands? What’s the advice there ABC?

Made over 60 for friends & family... in March. Many of us Don’t need to be told.

Nice pattern on the one pictured

Facial diaper

Which one do I choose I like the gorilla mask personal

😂 I love the evidence you provided for how effective they are,.... Literally zero. Not even an attempt to give the illusion of evidence. This is state run propaganda. If you believe that you need a mask. You are not an intelligent person. You do not think for yourself.

If youre an old banger or at risk do not make your own mask because they are near useless, buy a decent one. How long until there is some altercation or abuse over someone not wearing a mask , ill give it 2-3 weeks

Mask doesn't protect you from viral infections, not even N95 fully protects a person, let alone a fashion statement mask.

No thanks. I’ll spurge and pay $10.

I would only wear a P2 mask because mounting evidence is showing that Covid travels through the air and stays there for more than anyone should be comfortable with.

no thanks only bushrangers wear masks - oh I get it Victoria is where Kelly was from

Buy a mask don't make one. What next? Knit your own seatbelts?

Masks don’t work . It’s a hoax folks

The mask is useless and a symbol of your submission to do anything they tell you and has nothing to do with a virus. Its a flu virus and thats all. Its a hoax to usher in the NWO, wake up and use your common sense, the media are fully controlled to contoll you.

The pattern isn't for what you see here at all.

Ive been using a dish rag. 🥰
