This is my latest update to provide you with information about the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on our community.
The current restrictions will be extended until at least midnight on Friday 2 July. In addition, the NSW Government has announced new restrictions in response to the recent outbreak. From 11:59pm today (25 June 2021) the following restrictions will apply for those who live in, or whose usual place of work is in, Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick and City of Sydney Councils.
Residents of, or people whose usual place of work is in, the four LGAs must stay at home unless it is for an essential reason.
The reasons you may leave your home include:
- Shopping for food or other essential goods and services;
- Medical care or compassionate needs;
- Exercise outdoors in groups of 10 or fewer;
- Essential work, or education, where you cannot work or study from home.
People should only enter the four LGAs for essential purposes.
These restrictions will apply until at least 11.59pm on Friday 2 July.
As previously stated, if you live or work in the City of Sydney, Waverley, Randwick, Canada Bay, Inner West, Bayside, and Woollahra local government areas, you cannot travel outside metropolitan Sydney for non-essential reasons.
Residents across greater Sydney should also limit unnecessary activity and avoid large gatherings in coming days and comply with the current restrictions.
I know this is going to be a difficult period for our community. If we follow the health advice and all do our part, we can get through this and beat this latest outbreak of the virus.
