New freedoms for those who are fully vaccinated come into effect after the NSW government moves its COVID-19 roadmap forward. Here's what's changed.
New freedoms for fully vaccinated people have come into effect today after the NSW government moved its COVID-19 roadmap forward.
Originally slated for December 1, many freedoms not seen since before the Delta outbreak began in June have returned. If you're yet to receive both jabs, you'll need to wait until December 15, or, until the state reaches 95 per cent double dose coverage for people aged 16 or older, before any of this applies to you.Catch up on the main COVID-19 news from November 7 with a look back at our blogCaps on home visitors and density limits for outdoor gatherings of fewer than 1,000 people have been abolished.
Those who are fully vaccinated will be able to hit the dance floor in nightclubs, which were previously open only for drinking. Indoor swimming pools are able to open for leisure and paddling, rather than just laps and swimming lessons.Businesses that had been subjected to indoor density limits of one person per 4 square metres can now have one person per 2sqm.Entertainment facilities with fixed seating capacities like stadiums, theatres and cinemas will be able to operate at 100 per cent capacity, while other places like theme parks and zoos will be subject to the 2sqm density limits instead of the current caps.
