Elated Sydney siders were under lockdown for four months of "blood, sweat and no beers" early Monday as a long coronavirus lockdown was lifted in Australia's largest city.

With the advent of new infections, New South Wales state recorded 477 cases on Sunday. Among these, more than 70 percent, that is, 16 members, are double vaccinated. Hence they have taken measures to prevent the spreading of the virus.

A handful of venues, along with few bars and slot machine rooms, and are planned to at 12:01 am local time for vaccinated candidates.

While the hairdressers will open the doors during the day. Since June there were unprecedented restrictions on personal freedom as most of the shops, salons, schools and offices were closed.

There were strict bans for:

• Traveling more than five kilometers from home
• Visiting family
• Playing squash
• Browsing In supermarkets
• Attending funerals, etc.

	"Very few countries have taken as stringent or extreme an approach to managing Covid as Australia," Tim Soutphommasane, an academic and former Australian race discrimination commissioner, told AFP.

Even though they lifted the lockdown after 100 days, there are still few restrictions on:

• Mass gatherings
• International border restrictions
• Schools will not fully reopen for a few weeks yet
• Remaining daily life will be more like normal

Australia has successfully controlled the spreading of the potent virus by following strict measures like:

• Border closures
• Lockdowns
• Aggressive testing and tracing

	Sydney is now pivoting to "living with Covid", "It's a big day for our state," said New South Wales' recently appointed conservative premier Dominic Perrottet. After "100 days of blood, sweat and no beers," he said, "you've earned it."

Despite all these, there are few concerns about reopening. All the measures will be followed to prevent the spreading of the virus as per the officials in Australia.
