Reopening starts at 70% full vaccination
Stay-at-home orders for adults who have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine will be lifted from the Monday after NSW passes the 70% double vaccination target.
The roadmap is subject to further fine-tuning and health advice if circumstances change drastically or if cases within a designated area remain too high.
- Only fully vaccinated people and those with medical exemptions will have access to the freedoms allowed under the Reopening NSW roadmap.
- Non-vaccinated young people aged under 16 will be able to access all outdoor settings but will only be able to visit indoor venues with members of their household. Examples of indoor venues that they can only attend if they are with a vaccinated member of their household include: an indoor hospitality avenue, entertainment facilities and major recreation facilities.
- Employers must continue to allow employees to work from home if the employee is able to do so.
- There will be revised guidance on isolation for close and casual contacts who are fully vaccinated, with details to be provided closer to the reopening date.
- When NSW hits the 80% double dose target, the government intends to open up further freedoms around international travel, community sport, major events and other areas.
