Shane Warne leads by example as he urges Victoria residents to ‘do the right thing and wear a mask’ in new Instagram picture

Shane Warne has urged his fans to do ‘the right thing’ by complying with Melbourne‘s mandatory mask order. 

The Victorian Government made it mandatory for residents of Melbourne and Mitchell Shire to wear them in public – and will be issuing $200 on-the-spot fines to those flouting the orders. 

And the cricketer, 50, ensured to lead by example as he shared a selfie of him wearing a black mask during his morning walk through the coastal suburb of Brighton.

On Thursday, Victoria recorded its third worst day during the pandemic with 403 new CODID-19 cases.

The number of new reported cases trails only Wednesday’s record figure of 484 cases and the 428 infections confirmed by Premier Daniel Andrews last Friday.

It has been two weeks since Melbourne was ordered to go back into lockdown following the shocking surge of coronavirus cases.  

The reimposed lockdown measures mean people can only leave their homes for four essential purposes including groceries, daily exercise, to give or receive care and to go to school or work.

Shane recently claimed to Sky News that the stress caused by the pandemic is leading to hair loss.

He gave a tour of the property on Fox League, and revealed his mansion has its own nightclub area downstairs.
