Sydney residents in certain suburbs could be the first allowed back to the pub, but they will need to show one crucial document.
Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello said the rollout relied on the availability of federal data but once NSW had that information, the trial could start early next month.
“That’s why pubs, clubs, major venues or airlines are saying, ‘make it simple’. If you make it easy for the people using it, they will use it.” The scheme will be trialled early next month before it is rolled out across the state once vaccine targets are met.It’s understood the trial will take place in a part of Sydney with low virus case numbers and a high vaccination rate, which at this stage is much of the northern beaches.
Australian Hotels Association NSW director John Green said it made sense for the trial to be in an area that was “manageable”. “We’ve been in constant contact with the NSW government since March last year. In relation to the trial that will be a matter that will hopefully be resolved in the next few days.”
