Phoebe Burgess stepped out in Double Bay, Sydney without a mask despite advocating wearing a face covering to stay safe amid the coronavirus crisis in a now-deleted Instagram post.
Earlier on in the day, the 31-year-old encouraged others to wear a mask to limit the spread of COVID-19 despite it not being mandatory in New South Wales.
