ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Gladys Berejiklian announces three-stage roadmap to ease lockdown restrictions in NSW | ABC News” – below is their description.
The NSW Premier has confirmed October 11 as the date lockdown restrictions will start easing in New South Wales.
Gladys Berejiklian says the state is expected to have passed the 70% double dose milestone by that date, with 80% expected around two weeks later.
At the 80% rate, travel will resume through regional New South Wales and fully vaccinated people will be allowed to have 10 visitors at home. Community sport will also resume.
Restrictions will also be removed for fully vaccinated people attending weddings, funerals and hairdressers.
Unvaccinated people will only be allowed to attend places of worship.
A third stage has been set for December 1, when it’s expected the state will have reached 90% double-dose vaccination.
On that date, unvaccinated people will be subject to the same rules as those who’ve been vaccinated.
Masks will no longer be required indoors, and nightclubs will re-open.
