COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS EASED IN NSW

Restrictions on outdoor dining and outdoor music performances will be eased under relaxed COVID-19 safety rules.

From today, restrictions at hospitality venues will be amended to allow one patron for every two square metres in outdoor areas. Businesses wishing to take advantage of the relaxed restrictions must use electronic methods, like QR codes, to record and keep contact details.

In addition, 500 people will be able to attend outdoor seated music performances and rehearsals, subject to the four square metre rule and people being seated.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the community and businesses are doing a great job of working together to keep COVID-19 at bay, which meant the rules could now be relaxed.

“In NSW, we are focused on keeping the virus under control but also ensuring our economy keeps going and these changes will allow hospitality venues to increase their capacity in a COVID-safe way,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“Our aim is to provide as many opportunities as we can for businesses and organisations to succeed – but for that strategy to be successful we need everyone to follow their COVID-19 Safety Plan.”

Organisers of outdoor music performances or rehearsals are required to have a COVID-19 Safety Plan.
