States have thrown up their borders to NSW but the Prime Minister is backing NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s “common sense” rules to avoid a lockdown, after a birthday party in Sydney’s west sparked 10 more COVID-19 cases.
Sydneysiders will need to wear a mask in the office and have no more than five visitors to their home for at least a week, after the city’s outbreak grew to 38 local cases across a “school, a plane and a party”. Many businesses sent staff home after the Premier outlined the new rules.
