One Armidale family decided to pitch in, with two school students making their own face masks to sell at an affordable price to the community.
Isabelle and Lillie Kelly both have their own sewing business where they make scrunchies, baby bibs, hair ties and headbands.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the markets were cancelled, the girls saw the opportunity to remain busy and continue to make a little bit of pocket money, with the help of their mum Joan.
"When the first wave came around we sort of saw the opportunity, probably got some ideas off Facebook and put it to the girls," Joan said.
"We did a few mock ups, worked out how long it was going to take, how much it was going to cost us.
"When the first wave hit they made nearly 300. It worked out pretty well because we went into isolation and they were home schooled and then in school holidays."

With COVID-19 cases back on the rise, the girls are back into it.
"We've currently got over 100 on order. We've pretty much ramped it back up again and started advertising," Joan said.
The masks are made up of three layers; the two outer layers a tightly woven breathable cotton and the inner layer is flannel which acts as a filter.
Each mask has a different material on each side that makes them reversible, and they are also machine washable.
The masks are being sold in the local Armidale community but they have also been sent to Brisbane, Sydney, Tasmania and even as far as London.
Joan said the girls have really enjoyed making the masks but they can "get a bit sick of it after a bit."
"They're fortunate that I cut out all their material for them," she laughed.
"They like the money side of it. They like the idea of being able to help people out.
"We sell them at an affordable price...we want people to be able to protect themselves."
The feedback from the community has been very positive, as these homemade masks provide a much more affordable and reusable option.
"Everyone has been pretty happy with them," Joan said.
"We just shared it around to our friends on Facebook to start with, and they shared it for us, and then word of mouth spread it.
"They like to support the girls. They do pretty well with it."
