Thanks goodness for that (see below).

Don't need to wear a mask when walking for exercise (and actually moving), in non-crowded places.

Sydney's new Covid face mask exercise rules explained

The state has reported 830 new locally acquired cases of Covid, another daily infection record, as well as three deaths, as authorities battle to contain the spread of the Delta strain.

Wearing masks outside will be mandatory for everyone NSW from 12.01 am on Monday, except when exercising.

Even then, locals are still required to carry a mask on them at all times, and there was confusion over what counted as exercise.

Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys at Sunday's Covid briefing clarified walking was good enough exercise to justify leaving your mask off.

However, he strongly advised that masks be put back on when social distancing could not be maintained, such as on a busy street or walking track.

Wearing a mask would be mandatory if they stop exercising to engage in another activity, such as picking up a coffee or other goods from a shop.

'In terms of exercising, people do not have to wear a mask but where you are exercising in a place where there are crowds of people or where you think you will end up in a situation where people will be close by,' he told reporters on Sunday.

'You have to carry it so if you feel that your safety, if you feel that people are too close, why not put that mask on?'

Asked whether walking to a shop to get a coffee counted as exercise, Deputy Commissioner Worboys said people need to wear a mask if they stop moving.

'When I go to the shop, when I go to purchase a cup of coffee, when I get out of the car, I put my mask on, do my business and get back in the car,' he said.

'In terms of exercising to get a cup of coffee or to get something from the shop, there must be a point in time where you stop exercising and you actually move among people or towards the shop and I would suggest you put a mask on.

'It is just common sense that you would put that mask on. I don't really think it is that hard and I certainly don't think it is confusing.''

Did Hazard really say NSW is weeks away from normality? Pretty sure the Doherty modelling wasn't accounting 1000+ cases a day when we get 80% double dose...this guy is a ****ing fool.

Yes.
He implied 5-10 weeks away (Oct-Nov).
That's only 'weeks' (5-10 weeks)

One state that beat near-impossible odds

The chief medical officer gave one state a surprise shout-out in a press conference on Sunday, praising strong border control for an extraordinary result.

www.news.com.au

'“I’m confident as we move forward to 80 per cent, we will have a lot more normality in our lives and we are only weeks away now, so if our community keeps getting the vaccines the way they are, NSW will look pretty good by October, November.”'

 

[Cooldude]

NZ wirh 21 cases, we are truly sorry

By then, the current rate will see NSW with thousands per day.

Good of Bin Chicken not to show up on a record number of cases day.

When would expect to see any effects on numbers from the most recent tightening of restrictions? Tomorrow? Or no effect?

Think it's too late now, has already been seeded throughout the state and beyond.

The tightened restrictions don't start until tomorrow

The real question is what day NSW breaks 1k, Tuesday for me

Ah, right had forgotten that Gladys had given the virus the weekend off.

 

[BFew]

fu** me dead. They love redefining everything. No wonder they're in the sh*t.

What's really funny is that there are 3 sections that have fitted face covering related 'other exceptions' that in the latest Health orders (revised against last night - gazetted) refer to the masks and exercise.

In the latest amendments to these Health orders, one of those 3 had the word 'strenuous' removed , and this was detailed in both the amendment order, and the revised current Health order that incorporates the latest amendment.

https://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/... Delta Outbreak) Order (No 2) 2021_210823.pdf

Directions applying to general area - ..... engaging in strenuous physical exercise ....

Directions applying to stay at home areas - .... engaging in physical exercise

Directions applying to areas of concern - ..... engaging in strenuous physical exercise ....

On face value, it appears that the health orders have a stricter mask wearing requirement when exercising in LGA's like mine (one of the 13 areas of concern LGA's), than the rest of the lockdown (areas of concern) LGA's in NSW.

Either that, or someone stuffed up the amendments in the Health Order,
or the NSW Person that spoke this morning at the press conference does not agree with the latest Health order amendment.

https://gazette.legislation.nsw.gov.au/so/download.w3p?id=Gazette_2021_2021-407.pdf
'[6] Clause 3.17 Other exceptions Omit “strenuous” from clause 3.17(1)(b)'

The numbers just won't go up as much as they would have, had the additional restrictions not been brought in.

The effect of the new restrictions might be immaterial, given that the biggest risk is still in the areas with currently little community transmission and reported cases, where the some of the new restrictions are not currently targeted at, and where people might feel more at ease, knowing that they are not going to be invaded from the West between 9pm and 5am each night.

More likely to increase the number of fines Police had out.

I swear on my mothers face mask that I was not even trying to be clever or funny with that 'On face value' opening to that 'face covering' related post.

Must have subliminally had one of my favourite albums of all time on my mind.

'I can feel it coming the air tonight'
(the burn-off smoke here in Sydney tonight, the 9pm curfew from tomorrow night in my LGA, and Delta)

Don't get me started on Phil Collins. When I saw his autobiography was called Not Dead Yet, I took that as a challenge.

His next album is to be called 'Beyond the grave'.
or
'Delta calling'

NSW daily case number predictions for tomorrow.

Higher than today, but still in the 800's for me.
