2 Cheap Cars believes that giving away free masks will help encourage New Zealanders to cover for each other and stay safe.
Struggling to get access to masks of good quality, and enough of them to be able to use effectively to align with the government recommendations? One company is bucking the trend by offering 50,000 masks free of charge to anyone who wants one. Nationwide used car dealership 2 Cheap Cars has secured a shipment of high-quality washable face masks and they are pleased to make them available to every person in NZ that can pop by its dealerships and grab one mask per person (while stocks last).
By now, the disruption, cost, and inconvenience of the biggest health crisis the world has faced in recent times is becoming clear to all. 2 Cheap Cars brand manager Chloe Zhang notes that the cost extends to face masks for those especially in Auckland, but also elsewhere across New Zealand.

The masks are available to every person in NZ that can pop one of 2 Cheap Cars dealerships.
“We’re playing our part in making life just that bit easier in these difficult times by giving masks away, helping our team of 5 million do the right thing and look after themselves and one another without the cost constraints of purchasing a mask,” says Zhang.
The Ministry of Health has mandated that masks are required on domestic flights and on public transport such as trains, buses, and ferries, with the general public strongly encouraged to make use of the face coverings while out in public. The World Health Organisation has indicated that wearing a mask or face covering can reduce the risk of people who have Covid-19 spreading the virus to others by helping stop infectious droplets spreading when they speak, laugh, cough or sneeze.
The sudden spike in demand for masks has seen companies and individuals charging ten times or more the usual price, putting yet another burden on people already struggling with multiple challenges from the Covid outbreak.
