Police will deploy police to protect public health and safety if protest continue to hold prohibited rally activities around the centre of sydney (CBD) during the outbreak, sydney police announced saturday.
The new state supreme court earlier this week ordered a ban on protest scheduled for saturday afternoon for "freedom for refugee ". The decision was made because the "public health risks" associated with protest activities go beyond the importance of ensuring "public rally and freedom of speech rights ".
refugee action alliance`s organizer, James Subo (James Supple), said they still plan to hold it after a ruling this Thursday by Michael Walton (Michael Walton) judge, urging participants to follow social distance and public health guidelines.
Assistant Director-General Mike Wilring (Mick Willing) issued a warning that the police would "deploy police" to ensure compliance with the court`s ruling. Police have dispatched more than 600 police officers to the scene to maintain order after about 300 people were killed during rally protest detain near Sydney late Friday.
"Similarly, for the sake of everyone`s health and safety, I once again appeal to everyone not to go downtown and engage in any unauthorized public rally ."," Verring told journalist Friday
"We have sufficient human and material resources to maintain order, and as we do tonight, we will take whatever action is necessary to ensure that the Health Ordinance is enforced and that community public safety and health are guaranteed. "
A warning has been issued by senior state police officials that participants could face an evacuation, arrest or A $1,000 penalty.
A 24-year-old woman was fined for disobeying an evacuation order during protest activities this Friday night.
Meanwhile, a public school in Rossiwan (Rose Bay) was suspended on Friday after a staff member reported two consecutive weeks of zero new infections in the area. The employee is being tested by the new state health department,
"Further confirmed, the employee was diagnosed with new coronary virus (Wuhan pneumonia). However, the date of the specific infection remains to be determined and the case may have originated from an earlier infection. "
Furthermore, three new cases were announced on Friday in New York, two of them from the hotel quarantine and one from the Grieg Mortimer (Greg Mortimer) cruise ship, which had sailed earlier off the South American coast.
