NSW fast-tracks freedoms for fully vaccinated people

Freedoms for fully vaccinated NSW residents have been brought forward from the original December 1 date to next Monday, November 8.

Changes to the Covid roadmap have been unveiled today by Premier Dominic Perrottet.

From November 8, there will be no limit on visitors in homes, no rules for outdoor gatherings with fewer than 1000 people and indoor swimming pools will reopen for all purposes.

Mr Perrottet also announced an easing of restrictions on businesses with dancing allowed at nightclubs and a 1 person per 2 sqm rule at venues.

Changes to the Covid roadmap have been unveiled today by NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet.

For unvaccinated people who had been due to get freedoms on December 1, they’ll now have to wait until December 15 or whatever date NSW reaches 95 percent double dose coverage for people aged 16 and above.

In NSW, 93.6 per cent of people aged 16 and up have had one jab, while 87.8 per cent are fully vaccinated.

This news comes one day after international and regional reopened in NSW, with people now able to leave Australia without a permit or travel around the state so long as they are fully vaccinated.

The state also recorded 173 new COVID cases and four deaths today, after a record low of infections yesterday which saw just 135 new infections.
