Like many Australians, you probably ended last year lulled into the (now false) belief that the prospect of widespread mask-wearing could be behind us.
But with the latest outbreaks in Sydney and Melbourne, the first days of January have meant becoming reacquainted with good mask use to meet changed rules. And for many Australians, that can mean wearing one for long periods: on the commute, to go shopping, to watch live sport or to work at the office.
Mask-wearing is again becoming more widespread. A masked man is here pictured crossing the road outside Melbourne s Flinders Street Station.
