\nBusinesses and other organisations must continue to ensure they keep accurate records of all attendances, including through QR Codes, to enable fast contact tracing in the event of any community transmission.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said the easing of restrictions is a significant step forward as NSW continues its COVID-19 recovery.
\n\u201cWith no community transmission and our quarantine and frontline workers now receiving their second vaccinations, the timing is right to further ease restrictions across the State,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cAs we do this, it is important we don\u2019t let our guard down and continue to check in at venues, keep our social distance and get tested if we have even the mildest of symptoms.\u201d
\nTreasurer Dominic Perrottet said the further lifting of restrictions would help support businesses and jobs across the state.
\n\u201cToday we take another big stride in the right direction, easing restrictions is important in helping businesses return to normal, it\u2019s like a jab of confidence for the economy,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\nHealth Minister Brad Hazzard said the further easing of restrictions was possible due to the support and sacrifices of the people of NSW.
\n\u201cThe initial focus of our vaccination program on frontline quarantine, border and healthcare workers has also given us greater confidence as it reduces the risk of COVID being introduced into the community from an overseas source,\u201d Mr Hazzard said.
\nDr Chant said it is critical everyone continues to practise COVID-safe behaviours, including using QR codes, staying home if unwell and getting tested.
\n\u201cI also urge everyone to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible and able to do so. It will not only protect you, your family and loved ones, but will keep the whole community safe,\u201d Dr Chant said.
