Ritual beer drinkers flout health orders

Forum –

I find it increasingly difficult to maintain a positive energy when my “legal” exercise walk clashes with the ‘Beer Garden’ in Woy Woy Memorial Park/old Baths area.

There are up to 20 locals daily flaunting pandemic rules and totally ignoring the Health Advice and Public Health Orders (not weather-dependant).

There were no masks, no social distancing, and they were consuming beers in the ‘alcohol-free zone’ disbursed from a giant esky in a supermarket trolley.

Why?

Local authorities are fully aware of this ongoing ritual.

I’ve been forced to choose alternate walking tracks.

Speaking of double standards – I would hope the gang are all double-vaccinated.
