ACT lifts COVID-19 travel restrictions for nearly all of Sydney, Cumberland LGA still off-limits
The ACT will lift travel restrictions with nearly all of Sydney from 3:00pm today, with nine local government areas no longer treated as COVID-19 hotspots.
Only the Cumberland local government area (LGA) will remain subject to restrictions, barring entry for non-residents of the territory and requiring 14-day isolation for returning residents.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the changes would mean 449 of the 561 people currently isolating in Canberra would be allowed to leave quarantine.
“The removal of all but one of Sydney’s LGAs is a reflection of the vastly improved situation in Sydney and no new locally acquired cases in NSW this week,” he said.
The nine LGAs no longer considered COVID-19 hotspots are:
- Blacktown
- Burwood
- Canada Bay
