It was the first country to receive the new year, and it was shortly followed by Australia. Therefore, the country eased some of COVID-19 restrictions during the New Year’s Eve for the crowds to give them the chance to gather and welcoming 2022.

Moving to Australia, it was the second country in the world to ring the bells of the new year. The country somehow gave the chance for people to gather and watch the celebrations of the new year in the streets as several crowds were spotted in different cities such as Sydney and Melbourne.
