This is my latest update to provide you with information about the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on our community.
The NSW Government has extended the current lockdown in our community for another week until until 11:59pm on Friday, 16 July.
The same restrictions in place across both Greater Sydney including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour and regional NSW will remain in place until that time next week.
I urge all in our community to continue to come forward for COVID-19 testing and help NSW Health authorities to find any unrecognised chains of transmission.
The extension to the lockdown means that learning will be online for schools and students in Greater Sydney from next Tuesday, 13 July for four days.
It’s important to note that schools will remain open for students who need them, including the children of our essential workers, and that no child will be turned away from school.
The current expectation is that all students will return to the classroom on Monday, 19 July.
My staff and I are here to help you. Please call my office on 9349 6007, email matt.thistlethwaite.mp@aph.gov.au or reach me via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
