NSW Health always alerts the community as soon as possible when there is any risk to public health, including exposure venues related to confirmed cases of COVID-19.

As announced this morning, given the latest cases of community transmission, NSW Health has today introduced temporary COVID safe measures.

NSW Health is asking people in the Sydney and Blue Mountains (excluding the Central Coast, and Wollongong and the Illawarra) area to follow updated health advice from 4pm today until 12:01am Thursday 24 June 2021:

  • avoid non-essential visits to aged care and disability facilities, but if visiting, wear a mask and limit visits to two people per day
  • masks are mandatory on public transport
  • masks are strongly encouraged in all public indoor venues, such as retail, theatres, hospitals, aged care facilities and for front-of-house hospitality staff.

Please check the NSW Health website regularly, as the list of venues of concern and relevant health advice will be 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 clinics or contact your GP.
