COVID-19 Update No.37

Wednesday 24 March, 2021

This is my latest update to provide you with information about the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on our community.

The NSW Government has announced a further easing of restrictions across our state to take effect from 12:01am on Monday, 29 March 2021. These changes include:

  • No caps on weddings and funerals
  • No restriction on dancing including at weddings and in pubs and nightclubs
  • No restrictions on singing including in places of worship
  • No cap on visitors in the home and 200 people allowed for personal outdoor public gatherings
  • All venues to move to the one person per 2sqm rule (venues will be allowed at least 25 people before the 2sqm rule applies)
  • 100 per cent seated capacity at entertainment venues including stadiums and theatres
  • Mask use including on public transport will move from ‘mandatory’ to ‘strongly recommended’.

It’s still vital that we all continue to practice COVID-safe behaviours, including using QR codes, staying home if unwell and getting tested.
