Visiting other people at home
From Friday 1 May, two adults (and any dependant children) can visit another person's home to provide care or support.
If you are feeling unwell, you should not visit other people at home. Even if you have only mild symptoms like tiredness or a sore throat, find out about testing at a COVID-19 clinic.
Read more about the two people visitation rule.
Otherwise, NSW residents must stay at home, unless you are going to:
- work and education, where you can’t work remotely
- shop for food and essentials
- medical needs or the care of others
- exercise.
Existing rules around 10 people at funerals and 5 people at weddings still apply.
- If you go out, stay 1.5 metres away from other people at all times.
- Wash your hands as soon as you get home.
Do not gather in public with more than 2 people except:
- for members of the same household
- where the gathering is essential for work or education.
These new restrictions are legally enforceable.
Anyone could spread the virus, even without knowing.
