NSW tightens Sydney lockdown restrictions as state records 111 new COVID-19 cases
People in several Sydney suburbs have been banned from leaving their local area for work and the state's COVID-19 lockdown has been tightened after 111 new cases were announced today.
It prompted Premier Gladys Berejiklian to announce sweeping changes to the stay-at-home orders affecting Greater Sydney and its surrounds.
From 11:59pm today, people who live in the local government areas (LGAs) of Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown and Liverpool will not be allowed to leave those regions for work.
Ms Berejiklian said 29 of the new cases recorded in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday were infectious while in the community.
