COVID-19 Restrictions Tightened from 12:01 Fri 24 July 2020

Jul 23, 2020

The State Government will tighten COVID-19 restrictions around “highe risk” activities as the pandemic enters a new phase of community transmission within New South Wales.
 

From 12:01am Friday, 24 July 2020 the following rules will be in force in NSW: 

Compliance measures introduced to pubs will be extended to restaurants, bars cafés and clubs. 

This includes:
1. limiting group bookings to a maximum of 10 people
2. mandatory COVID-Safe plans and registration as a COVID-Safe business
3. a digital record must be created within 24 hours.

Corporate events and weddings will be limited to 150 people subject to the four square metre rule and registration as a COVID-Safe business. Strict COVID-Safe plans must be in place and choirs and dancing are prohibited.

Funerals and places of worship will be limited to 100 people, subject to the one person per four square metre rule and a COVID-Safe business registration.

The rules on gatherings remain the same: 20 guests inside the home and 20 for gatherings in a public place. 
However, as the home is a high transmission area, the NSW Chief Health Officer strongly recommends a COVID-Safe precautionary approach of limiting visitors to the home to 10 people as a general principle. 

The measures apply equally across the state to both city dwellers and residents in rural and regional NSW.
