Greater Brisbane is apparently the only place in the world, apart from a handful of Indian states, where masks have been a prerequisite for driving. Unwitting drivers in the subcontinent were reportedly pulled over and fined by cops back in September 2020 for not wearing a mask when behind the wheel, even when they weren't transporting any passengers. Back then, India was reporting up to 90,000 cases of COVID-19 a day. But over the weekend, drivers in Greater Brisbane - with its grand total of one case of community transmission at the time - were asked to do the same. The Queensland Health website at the time even clarified that when in your car, you were outside your home and therefore were required to wear a mask.
