Public health order includes Illawarra’s north, following increase in Covid cases

IN response to an increase in COVID-19 cases, changes to restrictions are being introduced under a NSW Government Public Health Order that will include Wollongong’s northern suburbs.

These rules and restrictions apply to Wollongong, Greater Sydney, and the Central Coast from today, Monday December 21 2020.

The following restrictions are now in place:

• The number of visitors allowed in a place of residence will be limited to 10 people. The total number of visitors includes adults and children. The limit to the number of visitors applies until midnight on December 23 2020.
• A maximum of 10 people are permitted in holiday homes and short-term rentals unless everyone is from the same household.
• This applies until midnight on December 23 2020. However, for premises that had already been rented out to more than 10 people before December 21, the people can continue to stay there.
• Existing capacity requirements of one person per two square metres will be tightened to one person per four square metres in indoor areas.
• A maximum of 300 people, subject to the one person per four square metres rule applies for each separate area of hospitality venues and places of public worship.
• Religious services held indoors are limited to a maximum of 300 people, subject to the one person per four square metres rule.
• Singing and chanting at indoor venues will not be allowed.
• Dance floors will not be permitted, except for weddings, where a maximum of 20 people from the bridal party will be permitted.
