A statement from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) on winter season preparedness.
@NSWHealth has tweeted "Today (Wednesday 2 February), NSW Health is reporting COVID-19 information for a 20-hour period from 8pm on 31 January to 4pm 1 February, instead of the usual 24-hour cycle. This is due to a change in our daily reporting cut-off from 8pm to 4pm, which was implemented yesterday."
We have received an update from The Department of Planning and Environment (NSW) advising the NSW Government is increasing restrictions in the community to combat the current wave of COVID-19.
Critical workers from certain sectors isolating as close contacts will be permitted to leave self-isolation to attend work if they have no symptoms of COVID-19.
Workers will only be eligible to leave self-isolation if their employer determines that their absence from the workplace poses a high risk of disruption to the delivery of critical services or activities, and they are unable to work from home.
Covid restrictions in New South Wales will remain in place for another month, the premier Dominic Perrottet has announced, saying the state was taking a “cautious” approach amid an expected increase in cases as schools resume across the state next week. The NSW Government will extend current restrictions for another month as the State continues to take a measured response to managing COVID-19 with a focus on a safe return to school and restarting non-urgent elective surgery as soon as possible.
