According to local media reports, there have been 4 shark attacks at beaches in Sydney and northern New South Wales recently. The Chinese Consulate General in Sydney reminds Chinese citizens in the consular district to effectively enhance safety precautions. Firstly, pay attention to various warnings issued by official agencies such as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the New South Wales Emergency Rescue Service, and raise awareness of safety. Secondly, local authorities have decided to temporarily close some beaches, so strictly abide by the relevant regulations and do not risk entering those beaches. Thirdly, when engaging in activities such as swimming, surfing, or rock fishing at the beach, observe and understand the safe swimming areas, surfing zones, and safety warning signs in advance. Ensure safety when choosing to drive or ride a jet ski for sea activities. Fourthly, keep your phone communication open, and in case of danger, promptly call the local emergency rescue hotline.
