SOCIAL DISTANCING CAUSES LONG LINES FOR ELEVATORS

Because of social-distancing requirements, residents of a high-rise apartment building in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta, Australia, ended up waiting an hour to ride the elevator up to their homes, with the line stretching out the building's door and down the street, the Daily Mail reports. In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, measures put in place limited the building's elevators to one household per ride. One resident posted a photograph May 2 of the queue with a caption noting he had already been waiting 30 min. He said the building's concierge staff was monitoring elevator use to ensure the restrictions were followed. Other residents commented that building staff said the stairs were to be used only for emergencies. Government officials planned to meet this week to discuss relaxing pandemic protocols.
