Covid Australia: New restrictions placed on FOUR Sydney hotpots - Daily Mail

When can I leave home, what will be open, and what happens if I break the rules? Everything you need to know about Sydney hotspot lockdowns

  • NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian imposed the stay-at-home orders on Friday
  • Applies to residents in Woollahra, Randwick, Waverley and City of Sydney LGAs
  • Applies to residents or workers who've been in the suburbs in the past two weeks
  • The new stay at home orders will come into effect from 11.59pm on Friday  

Residents and workers in four Sydney local government areas have been warned not to leave their homes unless 'absolutely necessary'.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian imposed the stay-at-home orders on Friday morning after the state recorded 11 new local Covid-19 cases with a further 17 to be included in tomorrow's numbers.

From 11.59pm Friday, people in the Woollahra, Randwick, Waverley and City of Sydney local government areas are only allowed to leave home for work, education, essential shopping, care-giving and exercise outside in groups of ten or less.

The lockdown applies to residents who live or have worked part-time or full-time in the hotspot suburbs in the past two weeks. 

'If you live or work in those Local Government Areas you are not to leave your home unless you absolutely have to, we would prefer you work at home or stay at home for education,' Ms Berejiklian said.

Shopping

Residents or workers of the four LGAs are allowed to leave home for essential shopping or picking up takeaway.

Ms Berejiklian warned against panic buying, saying people are free to leave their homes to go shopping whenever they like.

'Please don't panic buy. No need for that. You can go out and buy anything you need any time of the day. We don't have curfew, we don't have anything like that,' she said.

Exercise and gyms

Residents of the four LGAs are still allowed to leave the house for exercise, with groups of no more than ten people as long as they remain outside.

'We do allow outdoor exercise and we encourage people to actually get outdoors and take advantage of that,' NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said.

'We really encourage [outdoor exercise] because we understand the impact that this is going to have.'

Ms Berejiklian said gyms and nightclubs will also have to close.

Cafes and restaurants 

Ms Berejiklian said businesses in the four LGAs will close unless providing essential food or takeaway services.

'Unfortunately, unless you're providing essential food and services - that is take away food and services or grocery services of that nature, we don't expect those businesses to remain open in the next week,' she said.  

Visitors in homes 

Households will not be allowed to have any visitors, although there are exceptions for intimate partners that don't live with each other who are permitted to visit each other's homes.

There are now 65 cases linked to the Bondi cluster that erupted in the city's east last week.

Sydney's latest outbreak, which has led to mandated mask-wearing indoors, is believed to have been sparked by a limo driver who was unvaccinated and not wearing an N95 mask when he collected flight crew two weeks ago

Schools and work

Ms Berejiklian said workers and students can only leave the house if they are unable to get educated or work from home.   

The government had previously held off declaring a lockdown, instead preferring to restrict the movements of residents, increase mask wearing and limit social and other gatherings.

The outbreak was sparked by a limo driver who was unvaccinated and not wearing an N95 mask when he collected flight crew.

Restrictions for other LGAs of Greater Sydney will remain the same but have been extended until next Friday. 

Penalties  

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys said several infringement notices for people not wearing masks had already been handed out.

'The majority of those infringements last night were on the transport system and, of course, that is one of our most vulnerable places where people come together, and it doesn't matter whether it's on a train or a bus, it's around the platform, it's at those bus stops or shared areas where people wait for public transport,' he said.

UPDATED RESTRICTIONS ACROSS GREATER SYDNEY 

FOR THOSE WHO LIVE OR WORK IN THE CITY OF SYDNEY, RANDWICK, WAVERLEY OR WOOLLAHRA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS:

- Stay at home unless absolutely necessary.

- Four reasons to leave home: If you can't work from home or be educated at home, to exercise outside in groups of less than 10, if you must provide care to a relative, or to buy essential goods or services.

- Stay-at-home order will remain in place until at least next Friday.

FOR THOSE WHO LIVE OR WORK IN THE CITY OF SYDNEY, RANDWICK, WAVERLEY OR WOOLLAHRA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS, AS WELL AS INNER WEST, CANADA BAY AND BAYSIDE:

- Do not travel outside metropolitan Sydney unless essential.

FOR ALL OTHER GREATER SYDNEY, CENTRAL COAST, BLUE MOUNTAINS, WOLLONGONG AND SHELLHARBOUR RESIDENTS:

- One person per four square metre rule applies indoors and outdoors, including at weddings and funerals.

- Masks compulsory in all indoor non-residential settings, including workplaces, and at organised outdoor events.

- Visitors to households limited to five, including children.

- Dancing banned at indoor hospitality venues or nightclubs.

- Dancing allowed at weddings for the bridal party, which must be no more than 20 people.

- Singing by audiences at indoor shows or by congregants at indoor places of worship banned.

- Dance and gym classes limited to 20, masks required.

- Outdoor seated events limited to 50 per cent seated capacity.

- Public transport capacity limits, and green dots on seats, are back.

- Drinking while standing at indoor venues banned.

While road blocks would not be set up, police will be ensuring people aren't travelling when they're not supposed to.

'But as police go about their normal duties, they will be stopping cars and they will be asking and people will produce licences and where there's a need to take action, police will,' Mr Worboys said.

'The mask-wearing — $200 on-the-spot fines for breaching public health orders is $1,000.' 

Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant explained why millions of residents who work in the CBD but do not live in hotspot suburbs have been locked down.

'The rationale for including the stay-at-home order to follow the workers is because we know that many of the workers do live outside those geographical LGAs.

'We want them to follow those stay-at-home orders so we don't establish seeding in Western Sydney and southwestern Sydney,' she said.

Dr Chant described the lockdown as a 'circuit-breaker'.

She warned that 'case numbers are going to increase' but expected them to be among people already in isolation who pose 'no ongoing risk'.
