Face masks become mandatory in Greater Sydney as thousands linked to Berala BWS cluster told to self-isolate – SBS News
From Monday, people not wearing masks inside public spaces in Sydney can be fined up to $200, amid fears of coronavirus spreading from a suburban bottleshop.
Sydneysiders who flout new mandatory mask rules from Monday risk a $200 fine as the rule becomes enforceable.
Health Minister Brad Hazzard has asked police to exercise discretion in handing out fines to those who ignore the new rules.
Masks are now mandatory in shopping centres, on public transport, in places of worship, hair and beauty premises, entertainment venues such as cinemas and other indoor venues like post offices and banks.
All hospitality staff are also required to wear one.
