COVID Health Update

NSW Health has released the following update for restrictions from midnight 26th December until 11:59pm December 30:

For the Northern Beaches peninsula zone (North of Narrabeen Bridge, and east of the Baha’i Temple):

Given the ongoing risk, this area will return to ‘stay-at-home’ restrictions, with no indoor gatherings allowed.

Up to five people, including children, will be able to gather outdoors for exercise or recreational activity.

People may not enter or leave this zone.

For the remainder (southern zone) of the Northern Beaches:

Given the ongoing risk, this area will return to ‘stay-at-home’ restrictions, with no indoor gatherings allowed.

Up to 10 people, including children, will be able to gather outdoors for exercise or recreational activity.

People may not enter or leave this zone.

Residents of the Northern Beaches are able to leave for four permitted reasons:

A Northern Beaches resident now located elsewhere in NSW is exempt from these restrictions provided it has been at least 14 days since they have been in this local government area. If it is less than 14 days, they need to follow the relevant restrictions for their area of residence, regardless of their current location, until the 14 days has elapsed. For these people, outdoor gatherings continue to be restricted to two people.

For the Greater Sydney region, Central Coast, Wollongong and Nepean Blue Mountains:

Restrictions for Regional NSW remain unchanged.

Decisions on New Year’s Eve will be made in coming days.

We are urging the community to continue to play their role in controlling the spread of COVID-19 by getting tested and self-isolating if even the mildest of symptoms develop, practising physical distancing and good hand hygiene, and by wearing a mask, particularly indoors.
