澳大利亚疫情期间保持社交距离导致电梯门口排长队

据每日邮报报道，由于人群间保持社交距离的要求，澳大利亚悉尼市郊的帕拉马塔一座高层住宅楼内的电梯门前排起来长队，等待上楼回家的电梯，队伍甚至从大楼的门口排到街上。为了防止新冠肺炎疫情的蔓延，当地实施政策，限制建筑内的电梯一次只能运载一户人家。一名住户在5月2日上传一张照片，写着自己已经等了30分钟。他说建筑门口的工作人员在监督电梯的使用。其他住户表示大楼工作人员说楼梯仅供紧急情况使用。政府官员计划本周开会讨论放松部分防疫措施。

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.
