Backpackers at Sydney's Bondi Beach have been filmed blatantly ignoring social distancing rules at McDonald's.

The three young women huddled together, even though there were taped x marks on the tiles indicating the need to stand 1.5 metres apart, as they waited for their takeaway order.

Metres away from them, another three women with English accents are also bunched together at the fast food outlet counter early on Tuesday night.

The situation is so bad at Bondi the state government and St Vincent's Hospital are this afternoon setting up a pop-up COVID-19 clinic at the beachside Pavilion. 

Police have been out in force in the eastern suburbs, forcing sun bakers off the grass at Rushcutters Bay and doing spot checks on Kings Cross hostels to find backpackers partying in close proximity to one another.

Waverley Council, which takes in Bondi, has the highest number of cases of any Sydney local government area.
