NSW hits two weeks without a local COVID-19 case - 9News

NSW has recorded yet another day without a locally transmitted COVID-19 case, bringing its streak to a fortnight.

There were three cases in hotel quarantine recorded in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.

The total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic is now 4,915, NSW Health reports.

The good news comes as Sydney-siders enjoyed their first weekend of relaxed restrictions, with 30 people now allowed to gather in homes and masks no longer being mandatory in all indoor public settings.

Also from today, people from NSW are able to enter South Australia and Tasmania without needing to quarantine.

Queensland will open its borders to Greater Sydney from 1am on Monday AEST.

However, NSW residents hoping to travel to Western Australia will still have two quarantine for two weeks.

WA Premier Mark McGowan said yesterday he expected NSW to remain in the "low risk" category, rather than "very low risk", for at least a few more weeks.

"We would like to see them reach 28 days before we can consider moving them to the next risk category," he said.
