1:16Now PlayingNew Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made her own DIY face mask ahead of new rules requiring people to wear masks on public transport.
Ardern posted on her Facebook page on August 28, a chat with health advocate and professional boxer Dave Letele. Ardern brought out a piece of red cloth and a couple of hair ties. "I cut out a square of material that I had in my office," Ardern told Letele.
Starting August 31, everyone from the age of 12 must wear a mask on public transport. The whole country is under level 2 restrictions and social distancing measures remain in place.
New Zealand’s largest city Auckland has exited lockdown after the government said a Covid-19 outbreak there has been brought under control and it remains on track to again eliminate the virus from the community.
Auckland schools and customer-facing businesses re-opened on Monday and a ban on traveling out of the city was lifted, almost three weeks after the outbreak prompted the reintroduction of restrictions. Social distancing requirements remain in place for the whole country under level 2 restrictions and everyone from the age of 12 is now required to wear a mask on public transport.
"You don't have to use a surgical mask because I know that they are expensive," said Ardern. "Some people are finding it hard to find."
Ardern said it was her first time crafting.
"I'm going to pull out my glitter gun later."
