Brisbane residents have slammed Queensland Health for telling them to wear face masks when they drive, even if they are alone.
Queensland Health posted on Facebook informing users of the rule after the state government introduced new measures to stem the spread of the deadly disease.
'Do I need to wear a mask in my vehicle? We've been getting this question a lot,' the post read. 'The answer is yes.'
Many residents were left enraged and baffled by the rule.
Many questioned why they should be forced to wear a mask alone in their car when there is no risk of passing on a virus to anyone else.
The message came as the city entered its first full day of lockdown with police cracking down on anyone attempting to flaunt restrictions.
Footage has emerged showing a middle-aged man being arrested for allegedly refusing to wear a mask.
The lockdown applies to council areas of Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton, and Redlands.
Residents are required to stay at home until 6pm on Monday and only go out for work if they can't do so at home, for essential shopping or to provide healthcare for a vulnerable person in their local neighbourhood.
Those living within the specified council areas will have to wear a mask when out in public, although children under the age of 12 are exempt.
The organisation said residents should wear a mask when they drive as it will encourage them to get into the habit of wearing a mask when they leave their home.

If I were a policeman there, I would look the other way 100% of the time over this stupid law. I would say I was too busy looking out for real criminals.

I was going to say the same thing. It’s actually dangerous for us to wear a mask anywhere. I’ve bumped into people and stumbles over things due to my glasses being fogged, and I haven’t found a mask that does not cause the fogging. No, pushing the mask up under the glasses doesn’t work for me either.
