mrsswordfisherman Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 For the first time since the pandemic, Greater Sydney residents have been ordered to stay within a radius of their homes to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As part of tightened lockdown restrictions to “turn the tide” of growing cases, Sydneysiders must now stay within 10km of their residence for exercise or outdoor recreation. If it’s not for exercise, residents are expected to stay within their Local Government Area (LGA). Raiders before you post a fishing report or any other report that may breach public health orders please ensure that you are within 10km of your home if in the Greater Sydney area. Members of the public are sending in photos and other evidence to Crime Stoppers and local police to alert them to persons not doing the right thing. Fishing for fun and moving out of your area is not a reason to leave your house. We have all been asked to only go out of our house for 4 reasons and to ask yourself if in fact you actually need to go out at all. Anytime you move out of your house you are risking being around potentially Covid-19 positive persons/areas of concern. You may be going to fish somewhere and you may go to get bait at a tackle shop, get petrol etc, have an accident or require emergency services, break down on the water and require assistance or retrieval. There could be opportunity to become close contacts whenever you go outside your home. Think carefully raiders. STAY AT HOME, HAVE NO VISITORS TO YOUR HOME, GET TESTED IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS, GET VACCINATED Here is a site that might help you to see distances from your home. It is a quick radius checker. You can put in 10 kms or 50 kms or any other distance and drop a pin where your house is. When asked select choose my location. Of course you can always use your online maps to get distance measures too. https://2kmfromhome.com/10km Plenty of time for us all to get back to fishing raiders when we are allowed. Look forward to some great fishing reports from Greater Sydneyites when our restrictions are lifted Thanks to all the raiders who have put up some good stay at home reads/posts Stay safe all 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
