SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 08: A general view of new social distancing signage at the Sydney Fish Market on April 08, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. With strict social distancing rules in place due to COVID-19, the Sydney Fish Market has implemented new measures ahead of the Easter weekend. As Good Friday is traditionally one of the busiest days of trade at Sydney Fish Market, additional crowd control to limit how many people can be on site at one time will be in place. Public gatherings are now limited to two people, while Australians are being urged to stay home unless absolutely necessary in a bid to reduce the spread of COVID-19. New South Wales and Victoria have also enacted additional lockdown measures to allow police the power to fine people who breach the two-person outdoor gathering limit or leave their homes without a reasonable excuse, such as grocery shopping, medical purposes, for exercise, or to go to work.
