Sydney, Australia:
A pair of nude sunbathers who ran into bushland soon after becoming “startled” by a deer have been rescued, and promptly fined for breaching coronavirus guidelines, Australian police stated Monday.
Police stated the guys had been sunbaking on a remote beach south of Sydney, just before they fled into the Royal National Park to escape the animal.
Emergency services launched a ground and air search soon after the lost duo known as for aid shortly soon after dark on Sunday.
A 30-year-old man “naked and carrying a backpack” was found 1st on a walking track. A partially clothed 49-year-old was discovered later.
“It’s difficult to legislate against idiots,” stated New South Wales state police commissioner Mick Fuller.
“But clearly putting people at risk by leaving home without a proper reason… and then getting lost in the national park and diverting important resources away from the health operation, I think they should be embarrassed.”
The guys have been fined US$760 for breaking keep-at-home orders by travelling outdoors Sydney, which is at present in lockdown to curb a increasing Covid-19 outbreak.
They have been amongst more than 40 individuals fined for breaching overall health guidelines in New South Wales state on Sunday, police stated.
