Covid-19: $1000 fine proposed for not wearing mask on buses

From Checkpoint, 5:45 pm on 27 August 2020

People who refuse to wear a mask or face covering on public transport from Monday could be fined up to $1,000.

However, despite six new cases of Covid-19 in the community today and another at the border, the government has no plans to extend Auckland's lockdown past the weekend. Ruth Hill reports.
