COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS EASED IN NSW, BORDERS OPEN

NSW has eased COVID-19 restrictions on Friday in line with updated health advice following no community transmission of the virus for 12 days.

The new measures, specific to Sydney, will allow for greater numbers at household and outdoor gatherings, no upper limit on the number of guests at venues (but observing the one person per four sqm rule) and a relaxation of compulsory mask wearing in retail shopping centres. Masks remain mandatory on public transport, places of worship, hairdressers, beauticians, in gaming rooms and for front-of-house hospitality staff.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian commended the community for the combined effort to contain the recent outbreak.

“We must remain vigilant – it is critical we are getting tested with the mildest of symptoms, follow the health advice and continue to be COVID-safe right across the state.”

In response to the lack of community transmission in NSW, Queensland has also confirmed it will reopen the border to all of NSW on Monday 1 February allowing for travel between states once again. Victoria has also updated its travel advice regarding Sydney and from 6pm this evening anyone from NSW can enter Victoria with a permit. All areas of Greater Sydney are now green zones, except Cumberland LGA which is an orange zone. South Australia has also indicated it will ease travel restrictions on visitors from Greater Sydney from 12.01am Sunday 31 January, pending no further cases being identified.
