WHERE TO BUY MASKS ONLINE IN MELBOURNE AND VICTORIA
Melburnians are experiencing the all-too-familiar feeling of watching COVID cases rise. The protective measures we've been using for years now are once again coming to the fore.
If you're concerned about rising COVID cases and want to protect your family and wider community, face masks remain one of the best measures you can apply. They remain mandatory in several settings in Victoria.
Omicron is a far more transmissible variant than its predecessors, and as such, N95 and KN95 masks are considered the most effective in mitigating the spread of COVID-19. KN95 masks are simply a Chinese equivalent on N95 masks, with increased breathability thanks to a tent design.
Here are your best options for purchasing N95 masks in Melbourne and Victoria, online.
