The NSW government is facing increasing pressure to mandate mask wearing on public transport after a passenger returned a positive result after travelling on a Sydney bus in peak-hour traffic.

However, the state government remains committed to an advisory as opposed to a mandatory policy on mask wearing.

Authorities used CCTV footage to collect data on mask wearing which revealed approximately 30 per cent of passengers are doing so of their own volition. More than 30 bus and train routes in NSW have now posted public health alerts. The state recorded seven new COVID-19 cases overnight. Image: Getty

How the hell do they know this is where she got it.

“Gladys Berejiklian” Slow to Look down VIC Border, July Lesson NOT learnt from the Ruby Princess Disaster? August SYD Airport Arrivals from Victoria NOT placed in mandatory hotel quarantine till 7 August Masks Gladys slow to make it mandatory on public transport?

Wearing masks must be normalization for keeping everyone safety

But are they truly sick with the virus? Are they in hospital, are they at home isolating? 7 cases, wow!! I would say 10x that amount of ppl died yesterday but where’s the outcry for them? No none because they didn’t have COVID.

It is reasonable to create a mask mandate for people who are INSIDE SPACES (buses, trains, planes) and cannot guarantee SOCIAL DISTANCING; But a Victorian style Mask Mandate (whenever people are OUTSIDE in the open air) is definitely a MISTAKE and irrelevant in stopping the virus

Is that the only thing they did? Like test, bus, test? Have you hired some staff from Sky news U.K.?🤔
