While thousands of young people are allowed to attend to the Schoolies Festival in the coastal town of Victor Harbour, south of Adelaide, strict rules have been organised for dancing.

Revellers will have to go into one of 30 different pens set up at the event, which is run by charity, Encounter Youth.CEO of Encounter Youth, Nigel Knowles, said they have worked with SA Health and SA Police on the rules. He said the 50sq m fenced areas can hold 25 kids each, and will be patrolled by some of the more than 300 volunteers.Thousands of young people are allowed to attend the Schoolies Festival but strict COVID-Safe measures are in place."All of the patrons entering the pods are required to dance with a face mask.The attendees don't need to be vaccinated but do need to wear masks, even though the event is outside.

According to the South Australian government restrictions on dancing remain in place across the state."Dancing is permitted at a private function and private activity where up to 150 people are present. However, it is capped at 50 people dancing at any given time," it says.

What a joke let them be free and have some fun hard two years for and where got a big percentage fully vaccinated got to learn to live with it

Joke of a state.

Why not make it a maskerade party

Must they stay in those “pods” or can they mingle between pods, and if they are mingling it will, according to what we are told negate the benefits provided by the pods. How absolutely stupid these politicians are

Hahahahahaha young and free!!

FREEDOM! HAHAHAHA

Queenslanders super spreading event.
