NSW COVID-19 restrictions: the changes

The changes in restrictions come less than two weeks after they were relaxed on December 15. All will stay in place until at least January 27.

FROM DECEMBER 24

* Indoor mask wearing will be compulsory in all non residential settings, including for hospitality staff and in offices.

* People are encouraged to work from home whenever possible.

FROM DECEMBER 27

* Hospitality venues will return to the one person per two-square metre rule. No density limits will apply outdoors.

* QR codes will again be compulsory in all settings, reversing a decision to scrap the rules in retail and hospitality settings.
