Australia Covid live news update: record 239 NSW cases confirmed by Gladys Berejiklian as death toll rises to 13; six cases reported in Victoria

The NSW government, on advice from the police, has taken extra measures, also based on the health advice in relation to compliance, in relation to making sure that everybody across the state – particularly those areas of concern – are doing the right thing.

For that reason, if you live within those eight local government areas – and I want to make this point also, depending on the health advice there could be more local government areas that come into those areas of concern or come out, depending on case numbers.

If you’re in a local government area of concern – and at the moment there are eight of them – you need to make sure you wear a mask now at all times. If you step foot outside your household, you need to wear a mask at all times. It doesn’t matter where it is.

We’re seeing too much evidence of people who are not wearing masks when they need to, or if they are outdoors, they’re coming into contact with other people and not having a mask. If you live in a local government area of concern, you must wear a mask when you set foot outside your house.

If you live in a local government area of concern, from midnight tomorrow, you can only move within a 5km radius of your home. So it doesn’t matter what the reason is.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, you have to make sure you do not move within a 5km radius of your home. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for shopping. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for other exercising that you’re allowed to leave the house from. You can’t move beyond a 5km radius, and that includes singles bubbles.

If you want to have a singles bubble in a local government area of concern, you cannot have anybody move or you can’t move within 5km of where you live.
