SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - SEPTEMBER 11: People gather at Fairy Bower at Manly Beach on September 11, 2021 in Sydney, Australia. COVID-19 restrictions are set to ease on Monday for people in NSW who are fully vaccinated, with up to five people allowed to gather outdoors. The eased restrictions only apply to people who don't live in the 12 local government areas of concern and have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian this week outlined a roadmap out of the current statewide lockdown, with a range of restrictions to be eased when 70% of the state's eligible population are fully vaccinated. These freedoms will only be restored for the fully vaccinated. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)
