The ACT and Queensland have also updated their COVID-19 Case Locations.

NSW Health has made mask wearing mandatory on all public transport in Greater Sydney and Wollongong (at this stage exclusive of the Central Coast and Blue Mountains.) From 4:00pm AEST yesterday, Sunday 20 June 2021, residents of and visitors to seven (7) LGAs – City of Sydney, Inner West, Randwick, Bayside, Canada Bay, Waverley and Woollahra – must wear masks in all indoor settings, including retail, until Thursday 24 June 2021, although NSW Health has flagged that this advice may change depending on community transmission in the coming days.

“It applies to all indoor venues, excluding when you’re eating and drinking — so if you’re going shopping, to the cinema, sitting at a conference, any place where you can’t guarantee social distancing proximity with others,” said NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.

The states and territories have reacted as follows, implementing restrictions for travellers from areas of concern:

ACT

VICTORIA

QUEENSLAND

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

TASMANIA
