The use of masks and QR codes has been scaled back under new COVID rules announced by the NSW government.
From tomorrow, all density rules will be lifted and singing and dancing will be allowed at all hospitality venues.The direction for employees to work from home will also be changed, and from tomorrow will be left to "employer's discretion".Masks will no longer be mandatory in all indoor settings — only in places like public transport, hospitals and aged care facilities.
Masks will be encouraged indoors where people can't maintain social distancing, such as retail settings. Premier Dominic Perrottet said he would work with the public service over the next week on bringing employees back to the office, and he expects other employers to do the same.
