Can you kiss someone at the stroke of midnight?

You’d hope so, after all it is the end of a challenging year…but the health advice is to avoid kissing, hugging or coming into close contact with too many people on the big night.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said earlier this week: “I know New Year’s Eve is normally an emotional time where we like to kiss and hug everybody around us, can I ask for absolute restraint. Obviously your household is okay.

“But please be restrained because the more restrained we are at midnight, the better 2021 will be for all of us.”

Have a happy New Year celebration everyone, and let’s hope 2021 is a whole lot better.
