With NSW school holidays fast approaching, travellers and businesses are reminded to follow the latest health and Government advice to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
Travel is permitted across Sydney and regional NSW, and the state’s borders remain open. However anyone who is feeling unwell, or who lives in or has visited a known COVID hot spot, should stay at home.
This week NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian advised that NSW residents should not visit COVID hot spots in Melbourne.
Further, the NSW Government asked residents from COVID hot spots in Melbourne’s north-west and south-east not to attend major events in NSW including AFL and NRL games. NSW residents who may have visited the COVID hot spots in Melbourne should not attend major sporting events either.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said while health authorities battle to trace a growing number of community COVID transmissions in Melbourne, vigilance and caution are needed.
“COVID-19 spreads rapidly, particularly in large gatherings,” Minister Hazzard said.
Tourism operators are encouraged to follow COVID-safe business guidelines and exercise caution.
In an update to international travel advice, the air and maritime arrival quarantine orders (which mandate the 14 day quarantine period for new arrivals to NSW) have been remade such that they expire at the end of 23 September 2020 (unless revoked earlier).
Please note: In last Friday’s edition of Insights, Destination NSW shared outdated advice for tour operators including bus and private tours. There are no restrictions for travel on non-government vehicles, including tour buses, coaches and mini buses. Truck stops, stations, platforms or other facilities do not have any restrictions.
There is no limit to the number of passengers you can have in a vehicle and passengers can sit in any seat. Passengers do not need to be from the same household to travel together. You can hire a vehicle. The usual road and safety rules apply. This advice is available on the NSW.gov.au COVID-19 Travel and Transport page.
