By RNZEpidemiologist Professor Michael Baker says there are inconsistencies with the new level 2 rules, especially around mask-wearing at schools. "There are inconsistencies, and actually the one I'm most concerned about is schools," Baker said. "So I think we're really underestimating the potential for school students to be real leaders in this area." Baker said mandatory mask wearing would be good for high schools and intermediate schools. I think it's possible we would return to an alert level 1 of some form but I think it would need to be modified.
