Cup Match Mask Mania Competition Winners
Minister of Health Kim Wilson announced the winners of the Cup Match Mask Mania competition, which was organized by the Department of Health.
Minister Wilson said, “Events like today’s are a unique way for us to still celebrate our beloved Cup Match while also highlighting the importance of practicing good health behaviours, such as mask-wearing, which help to protect us from the threat of COVID-19.
