Masks compulsory; Three Northern Beaches venues on COVID list

7 May 2021: 2pm

NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.

The following measures are effective until 12.01am Monday 10 May for the Greater Sydney region (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains):

  • Visitors to households are limited to 20 guests, including children;
  • Masks are compulsory on public transport and in all public indoor venues, such as retail, theatres, hospitals, aged care facilities and for front-of-house hospitality staff (except in a hospitality venue when eating or drinking);
  • Masks are not required in gyms or other similar facilities like indoor pools or dance studios;
  • Drinking while standing up at indoor venues is not allowed;
  • Singing by audiences at indoor shows or by congregants at indoor places of worship is not allowed;
  • Dancing is not allowed at indoor hospitality venues or nightclubs however, dancing is allowed at weddings with a strong recommendation that no more than 20 people should be on the dancefloor at any one time; and
  • Visitors to aged care facilities are limited to two people per day.

In relation to hospitality venues, the Public Health Order requires masks to be worn by customer- facing staff. Patrons do not have to wear a mask unless they are in a gaming area.

It is also strongly recommended the community avoids mingling in large groups over the coming days, and is careful not to put our most vulnerable at risk.

MASK WEARING COMPULSORY AGAIN UNTIL MONDAY

6 May 2021: 11:09am

Premier Gladys Berejiklian has just announced that mask wearing is compulsory again for indoors for the next three days (indoor venues such as shops and public transport) and you can have no more than 20 people in your home from 5pm today until Monday. There will be no singing or dancing in indoor venues apart from weddings.

Health detectives have tracked the source of the case identified this week and say so far only his wife has also contracted the virus.

More updates to come.
