Calls for mandatory face masks to return have surfaced once again in Australia, as the fully “vaccinated” county is seeing its eighth wave of COVID. Australian Medical Association Queensland president Dr. Maria Boulton says people should opt to wear masks in public places such as large crowds, planes, and medical settings to slow the spread of COVID before Christmas.

Dr. Boulton called on Queensland’s Chief Medical Officer (CHO) Dr. John Gerrard to provide guidance to the public on how to avoid a “disastrous Christmas” holiday. “The public should be encouraged to mask up in medical settings, planes, or in crowds in the lead-up to big Christmas gatherings,” she told The Courier-Mail. “Of course, a mask mandate would be the decision of the CHO but hospitalizations are rising and the health workforce is stretched to breaking point and cannot cope with another overload of patients over the holidays.”
