Everything’s coming up New South Wales, Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced that most of the states coronavirus restrictions will be lifted.
From Monday, the state’s mask mandate will be lifted. Gone are the days of haphazardly covering our faces with our t-shirts on the night bus after drunkenly losing our masks. Ciao to an era of unfortunate jawline acne. We’re free baby!
All caps on weddings, funerals and gatherings at people’s homes will also be lifted.
“We appreciate many more people will be catching public transport and while masks are not compulsory, it is our strongest advice that if you feel you are on a service which is during the peak hour where you cannot maintain social distancing,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“These easing of restrictions will only work if all of us stay COVIDSafe (which) means good social distancing, most importantly it means registering QR codes wherever we go.”
Dancing and singing are coming back in a big way. Only one question remains, which venue will be brave enough to host a night dedicated to Charli XCX’s How I’m Feeling Now? A year of my early 20s has been stolen from me and I’m trying to make up for lost time. An entire without pashing sweaty strangers on the dance floor is not good for morale.
Phase 1B of Australia’s coronavirus vaccination plan kicked off on Monday, with 6 million Aussies eligible to receive their first doses. That includes Australians aged 70 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged 55 and over, those with underlying health conditions and frontline healthcare workers.
Despite the week of severe weather, New South Wales have administered over 70,000 coronavirus vaccinations thus far.
Let’s goooooooooooooo.
