Melbourne residents are being encouraged to wear face masks in public as the state of Victoria battles a surge in coronavirus cases.
And footy WAG Rebecca Judd revealed on the 3pm Pick-Up on Monday that she suffered a ‘COVID fail’ recently when wore her mask the wrong way around.
Recalling the embarrassing gaffe, the mother of four, 37, said: ‘There have been articles going around of how to wear a mask properly.’

‘I’ve got the single-use ones, but I had them on the wrong way. I had the white on the outside; it’s the blue [that should be on the outside]. I’m such an idiot,’ she added.
The correct way to wear a single-use surgical mask is by wearing the coloured part facing outward, while the white side faces inward, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Rebecca noted that while it’s important to wear face masks, there is a downside.

She explained that after having her morning coffee, she put a mask on and caught a whiff of her coffee breath.
‘It’s a real reminder, because it’s like this little air cloud of just you breathing in your own air,’ she said.
‘I think, coronavirus aside, this’ll be really good for dental hygiene, wearing masks!’
