Dr Zac Turner, director of Telehealth service ConciergeDoctors.com.au… believes masks should be mandatory for all Australians if they visit enclosed public spaces during the pandemic.

Up until recently some of the common reasons stated by authorities around the world against wearing face masks as a general rule were that masks should be reserved for medical professionals due to supply shortages, they could provide a false sense of security and could lead to an increased risk of people touching their faces.
