Homemade mask makers have been inundated with orders - as face coverings become highly recommended during this new outbreak. Julie Chaab began making handmade reusable products following the birth of her first grandchild a few years ago. Her 'Woohoo Nana' online Hive store sells bibs, toilet training underwear, pads and more. She also sells reusable face masks - but demand has surged since the announcement on Tuesday evening of Covid cases in the community. Julie told Lydia Batham she's had to close up her shop so she can get on top of orders .
