Sophie Turner says there’s no excuse for not wearing a face covering amid the coronavirus pandemic, since she managed to sport a mask while having a baby.
The “Game of Thrones” actress took to Instagram Stories on Thursday to share a message with her more than 15 million followers.
“If I can wear a mask while I give birth, you can wear a mask at Walmart,” Turner, 24, said into the camera. “And that’s the tea.”

Turner gave birth to her first child with singer Joe Jonas in July.
It’s not the first time the British performer, who played Sansa Stark on the HBO series, has spoken out to support public health measures aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19.
In March, Turner advised her fans on Instagram, “Stay inside. Don’t be f—ing stupid, even if you count your freedom over your health.”
“I don’t give a f— about your freedom. You could be infecting other people, other vulnerable people around you by doing this,” Turner said at the time.
