As of 11 .59pm on Friday 25 February the face mask ruling eased and masks will not be needed in most indoor settings. Masks will still be required in some settings such as on public transport, in taxis or Uber rides. It is strongly recommended as best practice and for the well being of all at Hester Canterbury that we all continue to wear masks in all common areas.
