Clubbers will be forced to ditch late night hook ups and keep 1.5 metres apart as revellers prepare to finally hit the dancefloor when nightclubs reopen this weekend.

WA Health Minister Roger Cook has called on everyone in the state to 'do the right thing'.
'I can confidently predict that police will not be out there tonight with a 1.5m ruler on the dance floor ensuring that people stay apart,' Mr Cook said.
'But we want people to be sensible.

'The reason we've been so successful is because everyone in the community has take the opportunity to apply themselves to all the restrictions, the physical distancing and the measures which are so successful.'
Mr Cook also offered some advice for those trying to alleviate boredom through dating apps.
'If you're meeting with someone that you don't know, well, you may want to get to know them,' he said.

'You need to treat dating like the easing of restrictions - you take small steps, you sit back, you wait for the response, and then you take another step.
'But let's not dive - it's important to protect yourself.'

Tasmania has already moved to the two square metre per person rule, dropping from the previous four square metre rule.
Other states are now expected to follow after Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced pubs and restaurants could cater to twice as many customers.
'Today we also agreed, and noted the advice of the Medical Expert Panel, that the two-square metre rule can be moved to for smaller premises,' he said.
'So that means for much smaller premises that would have otherwise being trying to stick to a four-square metre rule arrangement, 바카라사이트 this just gives them a bit more room for them to be taking more patrons.'
