As of Tuesday afternoon, masks are mandatory in all indoor spaces and public transportation in the wider area of Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shelharbor. The New South Wales government has enacted this temporary measure after the number of people infected with the corona virus in Sydney increased to 21.
According to the regulations that will be in force until at least Thursday, July 1, the inhabitants of the cities and areas covered by the new measures will have to wear masks while waiting for public transport (bus, train, ferry), as well as when entering the vehicle.
In shopping malls and retail facilities, face protection will also be mandatory, and this measure also includes churches and cultural and entertainment institutions such as theaters, cinemas and the like. Masks are only not obligatory for guests in restaurants and other catering facilities, while the staff will have to wear them.
It is very important to know that in addition to the obligatory masks, all religious buildings must have a “COVID-19 Safety Plan”, which they must adhere to at all times.
As for other restrictions, nothing significant has changed. Up to a hundred guests are still allowed in private houses, or up to 200 in public places such as parks, beaches, picnic areas.
Also, the Government of New Zealand has made a decision to stop passenger traffic with New South Wales for 72 hours due to the risk to public health. The flight suspension will last until midnight on Friday.
