Victoria police have fined and arrested people for refusing to wear a face mask in the first week that the mandatory rule has been in place as a measure by authorities against the spread of the CCP virus.
Wearing a mask became mandatory on July 23 as COVID-19 cases and deaths in Victoria continued to swell despite the government putting Greater Melbourne and Mitchell Shire on lockdown on July 6.
