After months of battling an increasing number of COVID-19 cases that followed an abrupt lockdown, the Australian officials announced on Sunday that Sydney is finally set to reopen.
The eased restrictions will allow businesses to reposition themselves in the Australian market, welcoming fully vaccinated residents starting from the next Monday.
“It’s a big day for our state, and to everyone across the New South Wales: you’ve earned it,” said state Premier Dominic Perrottet. “It’s been a hundred days of blood, sweat, no beers, but we’ve got it back in action tomorrow.”
The decision of easing restrictions came after the state of New South Wales has met the threshold of 70% being fully vaccinated.
Following the delightful news, Australia’s local media reported that hair and beauty salons have been fully booked for the upcoming weeks.
For state Premier Dominic Perrottet himself, the first thing that has to be done on Monday is to “get a haircut.”
Although the seemingly eased restrictions, limits on public gathering and social distancing curbs will remain for weeks.
According to the national plan, the Australians which have been closed since March 2020 are also expected to reopen, once 80% of eligible Australians are fully vaccinated. Currently, nearly 62% of all Australians have been jabbed twice.
