The regional local government areas (LGAs) of Kyogle and Narromine in New South Wales have seen stay-at-home orders introduced overnight due to an increased COVID-19 public health risk and will stay in lockdown until 11 October.
The restrictions will also apply to anyone who has been in the northern rivers region of Kyogle since 21 September and the central NSW town of Narromine since 28 September.
Everyone in the two LGAs must stay at home unless it is for an essential reason, which includes shopping for food, medical care, getting vaccinated, compassionate needs, exercise and work or tertiary education.
“NSW Health will continue to closely monitor the evolving situation with COVID-19 and will not hesitate to update its advice to protect the health and wellbeing of the people of NSW,” NSW Health said.
“We urge people throughout NSW to continue to come forward for testing at the first sign of even mild symptoms. To find your nearest clinic visit COVID-19 clinics or contact your GP.”
