China News Service, December 28. According to a report from the Great Australian Open on the 28th, New Year's Day 2021 is approaching and the new crown epidemic is still spreading in Australia.
Victoria and New South Wales have adopted different measures for New Year's Eve.
According to reports, Melbourne, Victoria announced the cancellation of New Year's Eve fireworks.
At the same time, following the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in Sydney, the Victorian government warned that no one except immediate family members “should kiss and hug each other on New Year’s Eve”.

In addition, the Victorian government said, “Don’t say goodbye to the good habit that has become part of our daily lives.” “Just like Christmas this year will be a little different, and New Year’s Eve will be different.” The government urges people to carry hand sanitizers with them. Go to the end of the year celebrations, keep your distance from strangers, and tell you to wear a mask if you are in a crowd.
Although the New Year’s Eve fireworks have been cancelled, Melbourne will hold a two-day outdoor food festival to make up for the loss of not being able to display fireworks.
According to reports, in Sydney, the New Year's Eve fireworks show in 2021 will be held as usual.
However, people may need to watch the ceremony from a distance at home or in a restaurant in the sky, instead of gathering at the harbour to experience the beautiful scenery up close.
New South Wales Governor Berekiklian said that it is necessary to ensure that the state government does not "waste any time and introduce any unnecessary mandatory regulations."
