Euroa electorate
Ms RYAN (Euroa) (12:01): (5819) My constituency question is to the Minister for Health. When will the minister remove requirements for face masks in supermarkets? I have been contacted by Tim Burton from Burton’s IGA in Euroa. They are finding it very, very difficult to manage the requirement for face masks with supermarkets, and there is a fundamental question as to why small country supermarkets are different from any other retail or cafe, for example, in country towns. They have about 25 per cent of people that they are required to ask to wear a mask because they are coming in perhaps not aware of the requirement or flouting the requirement, and it is putting their staff under great pressure. They have obviously really struggled through COVID, and this is creating a lot of pressure and a lot of tension in a small country town, so I would ask the minister to provide the health advice— (Time expired)
