It suggests that N95 respirators should not be recommended for the general public or non high-risk medical staff who are not in close contact with influenza patients or suspected patients”

Mount Druitt Police Area Command posted images to Facebook showing over a dozen employees gathered in close proximity to recognize Wear It Purple Day.

“Happy Wear it Purple Day. Follow your rainbow and start the conversation,” stated the text accompanying the Facebook post, an ironic slogan given that Australians were told that they shouldn’t “engage in conversation with each other,” even if they’re wearing masks, in order to reduce the transmission of COVID.
Aussie grandparents were also recently told by health authorities not to see their own grandchildren under any circumstances.
