New restrictions as NSW records 44 new locally acquired COVID-19 infections
NSW's COVID-19 lockdown restrictions will be tightened after the state recorded 44 new infections — the highest daily number recorded in the latest outbreak.
As authorities pleaded with people to comply with stay-at-home orders, it was revealed that 14,000 "close contacts" had been plunged into isolation.
That number has doubled in 24 hours — from the beginning of the current outbreak to yesterday, about 7,000 people had been directed to self isolate because they had been to a COVID-19 exposure site.
From 5:00pm today in Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour:
People will be able to exercise only in groups of two (or with their households)
People may not exercise more than 10km from their homes
