NSW has removed another rule as major changes to masks, density limits and check-ins at venues come into effect in NSW.
Unveiled as part of an updated road map by Premier Dominic Perrottet last month, restrictions will also align for all NSW residents – no matter their vaccination status.“The easing of these restrictions will allow people to get out and enjoy summer, providing a boost for some of our hardest [hit] industries as we do everything we can to ensure we keep people safe as we learn to live with Covid,” Mr Perrottet has said.
Fully vaccinated people from the countries of concern who are already in hotel quarantine will have to remain there until at least 72 hours after their arrival in NSW. They must avoid high-risk settings for seven days and have a PCR test both within 24 hours of arrival and on day six. While NSW Health strongly recommends that masks continue to be worn in rideshare scenarios, an Uber spokeswoman told news.com.au masks will remain mandatory when using the service.
Proof of vaccination will no longer be required for most activities, including going out for a meal or shopping at non-essential retail.Proof of vaccination will also remain in place for indoor music festivals with more 1000 people and cruises with more than 100 passengers.
