"If you are in Auckland please cover your face if you leave your home," Ardern said. "A mask or any face covering such as a scarf or bandana will suffice. While we are not mandating their general use at this stage we're strongly encouraging their general use in the Auckland region." Countdown and Foodstuffs have supply. 5 million of the Government's general supply is being distributed across the country as well. If your supermarket doesn't have any available you can fashion your own at home. Masks must be worn on flights leaving Auckland. That is only place masks are mandatory.
