Wearing a mask in a public place is on the list of recommendations for protection against the coronavirus issued by the WHO. However, this simple task proved to be challenging for Australia's Health Minister. To make things worse, his struggle with the mask occurred just as he was explaining to the public how to put one on.

Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt found himself struggling to put a mask on - just in the middle of a demonstration on how to wear them.

Addressing the press about the coronavirus situation in the country, Hunt urged the public in Victoria, one of the worst-affected territories, to wear masks if they cannot maintain social distance in public places. The minister then proceeded to demonstrate how to put the face cover on.

However, as he was adjusting the mask, it snapped off his left ear, forcing Hunt to count to three before attempting to put it on again.

Alas, the second try also went amiss as the mask fully covered his eyes. The official eventually managed to place the mask properly on his face.

​The state of Victoria in Australia has been hit the worst by the coronavirus pandemic, as it is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases linked to international arrivals quarantined in hotels in Melbourne.
