When do we wear a mask?

In a recent article for Stuff.co.nz, Dr Andrew Vonasch of UC’s School of Psychology, Speech and Hearing discussed the social norms some kiwis may require to feel comfortable wearing a mask when they were out and about in our communities.

Dr Vonasch said social norms develop in a lot of different ways and one way would be for politicians or doctors to make it clear that wearing masks needed to become the norm.
