New COVID restrictions in NSW

A swathe of COVID-19 restrictions will be imposed across Greater Sydney, including compulsory mask-wearing indoors and on public transport and limits to visitor numbers.

From 5pm on Thursday, for the next three days, there will also be no singing or dancing indoors, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced.

The restrictions come after one more case of the infection was identified involving the wife of the man from Sydney’s east who was diagnosed on Wednesday.

But dancefloors at weddings can have up to 20 dancers.

Drinkers at indoor bars must be seated.

The new measures apply to Greater Sydney, down to the Illawarra and up to the Central Coast.

“We believe this is a proportionate response to the risk ahead of us,” Ms Berejiklian said on Thursday.
