New South Wales has announced a seven-day lockdown of four Local Government Areas (LGAs) in response to 22 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 today.
The affected local government areas (LGAs) are:
- Waverley
- Woollahra
- Randwick
- City of Sydney
The restrictions, which took effect from 11:59pm today (Friday 25 June) will remain in place until at least 11:59pm on Friday 2 July 2021.
People who live in those areas, or have worked in those areas in the past fortnight, will be permitted to leave home only for four reasons:
- Shopping for food or other essential goods and services
- Medical care or compassionate needs
- Exercise outdoors in groups of 10 or fewer
- Essential work, or education, where you cannot work or study from home.
Transport, freight or logistics drivers, and freight services are essential workers.
Masks must be carried at all times; and must be worn indoors (except if at home) and outdoors. Heavy vehicle drivers whilst in cab do not need to wear a face mask unless two-up driving or where they have a passenger.
