The novel coronavirus pandemic has changed all of our lives in different ways, but one new habit we should all be embracing is staying home unless we absolutely have to leave. In Australia, police are strictly enforcing that mandate and issuing fines to people who make unnecessary trips, hoping to slow the spread of the virus and keep everyone safe.
A couple in Victoria recently found out just how seriously local law enforcement takes these news rules after police arrived at their door with a pair of citations for photos posted to Facebook that show the pair hanging out at a nearby vacation spot. Fortunately for the couple, they never actually broke the rules.
