Wellington Paranormal - Covid-19

In March 2020 the New Zealand Police asked Officers O'Leary and Minogue from comedy hit Wellington Paranormal to help them spread key messages, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the first video Officer O'Leary (Karen O'Leary) demonstrates just how wide a two-metre gap really is with the help of a couch, an All Black and a mannequin called 'Phil'. Officer Minogue chimes in by cellphone and O'Leary sings a song. In the second video, O'Leary talks on Zoom with her mum (Lynda Topp) who has improvised some PPE (personal protective equipment) and needs a hand identifying "fake Covid news".
