Masks - what works well and what doesn't

Sheri from Mount Roskill

Study: some cotton cloth masks are about as effective as standard surgical masks, but alternatives such as neck warmers made of thin, stretchy material may be a bad idea.
www.stuff.co.nz...

I am making 100% cotton reusable masks with two layers of fabric for just $10 each. Shaped masks in men's, women's, children's sizes (not recommended for children under 3 years old) or pleated surgical style masks in one size. If you would like to order some or find out more, please message me for further information.

For those of you who can sew and want to make your own masks, please see my earlier post on mask patterns - there are a lot of free patterns available that you can download, and lots of tutorials if you need help.

Stay safe and well - wear a mask, keep 2m distance, avoid touching your face, and wash your hands frequently!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
