Cricket legend Shane Warne leads by example as he urges Melbourne residents to ‘do the right thing and wear a mask’ to limit the spread of COVID-19
Shane Warne has urged his fans to do ‘the right thing’ by complying with Melbourne’s mandatory mask order.
The Victorian Government made it mandatory for residents of Melbourne and Mitchell Shire to wear masks in public – and will be issuing $200 on-the-spot fines to those flouting the orders.
And the retired cricketer, 50, led by example when he shared a photo to Instagram of himself wearing a black mask during his morning walk through the coastal suburb of Brighton.

‘Morning walk time. Please put your mask on Victoria and do the right thing ❤️,’ Shane captioned the snap.
On Thursday, Victoria recorded its third worst day during the pandemic with 403 new COVID-19 cases.
The number of new reported cases trails only Wednesday’s record figure of 484 cases and the 428 infections confirmed by Premier Daniel Andrews last Friday.

It has been two weeks since Melbourne was ordered to go back into lockdown following a surge of coronavirus cases.
The reimposed lockdown measures mean people can only leave their homes for four essential purposes: buying groceries, daily exercise, going to school or work, and giving or receiving care.
Shane recently told Sky News that the stress caused by the pandemic was leading to hair loss in men.

In March, Shane showed off his lavish home where he was self-quarantining with his family.
He gave a tour of the property on Fox League, and revealed his mansion has its own nightclub area downstairs.
