25.01.2022 Know what to do when you hear a siren or see the flashing blue or red lights of an approaching emergency vehicle? When you hear a siren or see the flashing blu...e or red lights of an approaching emergency vehicle: * Give way to the emergency vehicle if you are stopped do not move until it is safe to proceed, even if the traffic light is green. If you are moving, you must slow down and stop if necessary to avoid a collision with the emergency vehicle. * Move out of the way as soon as you can safely do so * Move over as much as you can to the left-hand side of the road or, if possible, move onto the road shoulder or breakdown lane. On multi-lane roads, try to move into the left lane to let the emergency vehicle pass * Drivers on both sides of the road should be prepared to move out of the path of emergency vehicles * Emergency vehicles with sirens sounding or lights flashing responding to urgent situations are not required to follow the rules, as long as it is safe for them to do so. Drivers should always be extra cautious when they see flashing lights or hear sirens. https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au//approaching-emerg

08.01.2022 SANTA CLAUS GRANTED COVID-19 QUARANTINE EXEMPTION The global COVID-19 pandemic will not impede Santa or his helpers’ entry into NSW this Christmas, after he was granted a special "essential workers" exemption by NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard. Mr Hazzard said he had written to Mr Claus's North Pole address to say he and his elves and nine reindeers are not required to complete a 14-day isolation in hotel quarantine after their sleigh crosses the NSW border. ... "Mr Claus, I understand you have significant magical powers which allow you to travel the world safely without transmitting COVID-19," Mr Hazzard wrote in the letter. "I am aware you have safely delivered presents to children in Australia during previous pandemics and as a result I am confident you will take the necessary precautions to keep our community safe. "Accordingly, this exemption will include the following precautions: All presents will be delivered after bedtime to minimise contact; You and your elves maintain 1.5 metres physical distancing should you encounter others; If you are unwell, you get a COVID-19 test and isolate right away; You and your elves must wash your hands regularly and carry hand sanitiser; Wear a mask if you or your elves are ever unable to maintain physical distancing." The Minister's statement today noted that a spokeswoman for Santa Claus confirmed receipt of the special exemption and said Santa and his helpers were only too happy to comply, having secured a jumbo supply of hand and hoof sanitiser to last their journey. "After a challenging year, Mr Claus wants this Christmas to be the best yet," she said.
