At Alert Level 3, you are strongly encouraged to wear a face covering when you’re out and about. Wearing a face covering helps keep you and others safe.

The Auckland Indian Association and Belong Aotearoa are working together to make sure our communities are covered by providing face masks to community organisations. This is not available for all and anyone wanting masks.

This service is only available to community organisations and leaders who are able to distribute masks to those in their community who they have identified as being vulnerable, in need and who would otherwise not have access to face masks.

These masks will be available at a community hub for community groups wishing to distribute to vulnerable members of their community, to pick up for distribution upon appointment only from this week between set hours.

Please note if you do not have a face covering, you don’t need to rush out to obtain a face mask. You can use another kind of covering, like a bandanna, scarf or t-shirt.

To find out more information about accessing face masks, please contact us on [email protected]

Together, let’s make sure our communities are covered.

Stay kind. Keep safe.
