The webpage also has extensive information and advice for residential disability care providers. It is important for providers to regularly check the NSW Health website and ensure the rules and guidelines are understood.

Restrictions in regional NSW will remain unchanged.

These tightened restrictions are based on health advice from the Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant. They are necessary due to the increasing number of unlinked cases in the community.
