Masks that cover children’s entire faces were included in back-to-school Covid packs, but government insists junior sizes available

Children were sent comically large masks as part of the Tasmanian government’s back-to-school Covid packs.Children were sent comically large masks as part of the Tasmanian government’s back-to-school Covid packs.The Tasmanian government’s back-to-school Covid packs have been mocked after primary school children were sent comically large adult surgical masks.

“My granddaughter in grade five got adult masks too, and how long are five masks going to last?” another person posted. “It’s a joke really.” “While mask wearing is not mandatory in primary schools, primary schools across Tasmania have received a supply of more than 600,000 junior surgical masks if a child chooses to wear one and does not have their own.”

“It’s like something out of ‘Yes Minister’,” he said. “The idea that they’re the best because they cover the whole face.” AEU Tasmania president David Genford said the state government had failed to address safety measures ahead of schools returning this year.
