Today, a pop-up COVID-19 testing station was opened at Bondi Beach as an outbreak of the virus intensified around the famous beach area, and as infection rates soared across the country overnight.
This morning, the beach was still closed off to the public. The ocean pools at Bondi Icebergs were emptied and the skate park closed. New social distancing regulations were being enforced by police and council rangers along the promenade, as surf life-savers dug the words ‘STAY HOME’ into the beach sand.
By order of government, nearby playgrounds were also fenced off to the public.
