Larry, a student and city commuter, poses in front of Sydney Town Hall in what he calls “apocalyptic fashion”, a style that he thinks more people will be adopting in the future.
Today, Greater Sydney is under new COVID-19 restrictions, with mask wearing now mandatory in certain indoor settings, such as on public transport, shopping centres, retail outlets, places of worship and hair and beauty premises. From tomorrow, $200 fines will be meted out for a failure to adhere to mask wearing in these settings. Further limitations on public and outdoor gatherings have also implemented.
Despite this, next week’s Sydney Test cricket match has been given the go-ahead, where up to 24,000 spectators are expected to attend. The sporting event has been described as an ‘unnecessary risk’, according to epidemiology expert, Professor Raina MacIntyre.
Protests, outdoor performances and other public activities have been capped at 500.
