As announced earlier today, stay-at-home orders will be extended across all of Greater Sydney, including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour, from 6pm today until 11.59pm on Friday 9 July.

Everyone in Greater Sydney must stay at home, unless it is for an essential reason.

Reasons to leave home include:

  • shopping for food or other essential goods and services
  • compassionate needs or medical care, including being vaccinated for COVID‑19 unless you have been identified as a close contact
  • exercise outdoors in groups of 10 or fewer
  • essential work or education, where you cannot work or study from home.

People who have been in the Greater Sydney region (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour) on or after 21 June must follow the stay-at-home orders for a period of 14 days after leaving Greater Sydney.

Please check the NSW Health website regularly, as the list of venues of concern and relevant health advice are being updated as investigations continue.

Anyone with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms is urged to immediately come forward for testing and isolate until a negative result is received.

There are more than 300 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic visit COVID-19 testing clinics or contact your GP.
