Regional lockdown to lift in some areas

Parts of regional NSW currently deemed low risk and which have seen zero COVID cases for at least 14 days will emerge from lockdown at 12:01am Saturday 11 September, but will continue to operate under restrictions to ensure the safety of regional communities.

Local Government Areas (LGAs) still seeing COVID case numbers will continue to follow stay-at-home orders and will be monitored by NSW Health with updates provided as circumstances develop.

In areas where the restrictions are lifting schools will return on Monday. Our teams are working closely with NSW Health, Educaton and our Private Bus Operators on the safe return of kids to schools. We will be closely monitoring capacity and adjusting our services as necessary.

Masks remain mandatory in all regional areas for all indoor public venues, including public transport. To ensure you continue to protect yourselves and those close to you make sure you follow all the COVIDSafe practices like checking in using the QR codes, practicing physical distancing and good hand hygiene and getting vaccinated as soon as you can.
