NSW COVID Updates

by Aquatic Recreation Institute on August 15, 2021

Tighter restrictions are now in place for NSW. In Greater Sydney and other lockdown areas, the 10 kilometre rule will be reduced. Shopping, exercise and outdoor recreation is to be done in a person’s local government area (LGA) or, if outside their LGA, within 5 kilometres of home. LGAs of concern must still exercise and shop within 5 kilometres from home only.

A snap state-wide lockdown has been applied to all NSW, with venues expected to close, which would include all aquatic and recreation facilities across the state. Media release - Stay-at-home orders for regional nsw from 5pm today - News

Changes for residents in local government areas of concern:

From 12.01am, Monday, 16 August: only exercise and supervision of children allowed (no outdoor recreation);
From 12.01am, Saturday, 21 August: People who live alone must now register their “singles bubble”.
