FAQ’s For Winter – Mask Up And Stay Protected With MEO

With the winter season in full swing here at MEO in Aotearoa we’ve received an influx of enquiries and re-orders at MEO from our incredible customers. Here’s some of our most frequently asked questions of the season.

Is my child required to wear a mask at school in New Zealand?

For students (year 4 and above) the government in New Zealand has recently made adjustments to their advice on mask wear within schools, stuff.co.nz recently published an article here.

“For the start of Term 3, 2022, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health strongly recommend that all schools and kura amend their mask policy for the first four weeks of term to require mask wearing in all indoor settings (where it will not have a significant impact on teaching and learning – see below) for students in Years 4 and above” – Template letter of advice on mask wearing for parents and whanau

As always, we suggest following the advice as prescribed HIER via Covid19.org.nz.

How do I store my MEO Lite when not in use?

Es wird empfohlen, die Maske vor Feuchtigkeit, Hitze und Sonnenlicht zu bewahren; an einem kühlen und trockenen Ort.

When traveling we suggested keeping your MEO Lite in a ziplock (or alternative) bag to prevent moisture or transfer onto your mask. As always wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling your MEO Lite.
