Stay-at-home orders lifted for some regional LGAs

The stay-at-home orders introduced last week for the Albury and Lismore Local Government Areas (LGAs) will no longer apply from today, Thursday 23 September.

NSW Health thanks the communities of Albury and Lismore for their co-operation and for coming forward for testing in large numbers.

It was also announced yesterday that stay-at-home orders will no longer apply to three LGAs which have been deemed low-risk and have not recorded any COVID-19 cases or positive sewage detections for 14 days.

The orders will be lifted for Gilgandra and Brewarrina LGAs from Thursday 23 September, Glen Innes and Orange LGAs from Friday 24 September and the Narromine LGA from Saturday 25 September, provided Narromine has no cases or sewage detections before then.

All of these LGAs will continue to operate under some restrictions to ensure community safety. For more information, please visit: www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19.

Stay-at-home orders for Hilltops LGA, including Young, will be extended for a further seven days from tomorrow (Friday 24 September) due to ongoing transmission in the area.

We need all people throughout NSW to continue to come forward for testing at the first sign of even mild symptoms. High vaccination rates are also essential to reduce the risk of transmission and protect the health and safety of the community.
