Face masks – Victoria

Face masks

Everyone aged 8 and above must wear a mask in all indoor settings in Victoria — unless an exception applies, such as when in a home, when consuming food or drink, or when receiving beauty services.

You must also wear a face mask in the follow settings throughout Victoria:

  • public transport, taxis, rideshare services and tourism vehicles
  • airports and commercial flights
  • events for 30,000 or more, unless you’re seated outdoors
  • visitors at a hospital or care facility
  • after being tested for COVID-19 and waiting for results — excluding surveillance testing
  • leaving a premises in line with quarantine, isolation or testing rules if you have COVID
  • 19 or you’re a close contact
  • international passenger arrivals and international aircrew services workers who are in direct transit to their place of self-quarantine in Victoria and who leave their vehicle, or who are in self-quarantine and leave to undertake allowed essential services

Always carry your mask when leaving home.

The Victorian Government strongly recommends wearing a mask if you can’t physically distance (even if you’re outdoors), have any symptoms, or if you’re with people who may be vulnerable to COVID-19.

Face shields, bandanas and scarves are not sufficient.

These “settings” were updated on Christmas Eve, as the whole country was thrown into chaos because everybody needed to get a Covid test simultaneously so they could move from one point on the map to another. The lowering of the age for the mandatory wearing of face masks was achieved under the cover of the Omicron scare, and in turn is justified under the pretext of the Omicron scare.

There has been no furore in the days since, no outcry from child protection groups. Let’s take a random look at a Lying Press article to get an idea of how this has been covered:

Mr Merlino described new measures the government is taking as “common sense, sensible changes in response to the new variant”.

The returning mask rules also dictate that people have to wear them when moving around major events of more than 30,000 people, but not when they are seated outdoors.

Health Minister Martin Foley said authorities were also recommending to hospitality venues that they stick to seated service where possible, and that dance floors stay in outdoor, well-ventilated areas.

“These changes will help us protect the most vulnerable people in the community while more Victorians go and get their third dose,” Mr Foley said.

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton a mandate was necessary because a strong recommendation on mask-wearing, which Prime Minister Scott Morrison had called for, would not have the desired impact.

“The difference between highly recommending something and mandating something is the level of compliance that we see,” Professor Sutton said.

“We usually get about 50 per cent levels of cooperation or compliance with a strong recommendation. It goes to 95-99 per cent with a mandate. Why would you introduce a half measure when you need the full measure to be in place?”

Common sense. Sensible. Protecting the vulnerable. Avoiding half measures. At no point does anybody scream “why the hell are you forcing 8 year olds to wear masks? It’s killing them!”

Have you seen the self portrait tutorials?

They’re actually trying to normalise this abuse. Conversely, here is a genuine reaction from a child to the insanity which is taking over everyday life:

This is not normal. Nor is forcing children to wear masks. It’s called evil.
