Sydney hairdressers, gyms, cafés and bars reopened to fully vaccinated customers on Monday for the first time in more than 100 days after the city achieved a vaccination benchmark.

Australia’s largest city planned to reopen on the Monday after 70% of the New South Wales state population aged 16 and older were fully vaccinated.
