From Morning Report, 6:51 am on 19 March 2020

The Dental Association says dentists will have to shut down within weeks due to a lack of masks unless the Government takes action immediately.

The chief executive of the New Zealand Dental Association, David Crum says the masks dentists use are of a specific standard which are in very short supply.

He told RNZ reporter Rachel Graham there was about two weeks supply left before dentists will have to start closing.
