These rules apply from 4pm today 22 June 2021 to 12.01am on Thursday 1 July 2021.
We are also asked to avoid non-essential visits to aged care and disability facilities, but if visiting wear a mask and limit visits to two people per day.
It is also strongly recommended that our community avoids mingling in large groups over the coming days and is careful not to put our most vulnerable at risk.
If you would like further information regarding these restrictions you can call Service NSW 24/7 on 13 77 88.
