What you need to know going into the holidays

Masks are now mandatory

As of midnight tonight (23 December), masks are mandatory in indoor settings until 27 January 2022. Masks continue to be mandatory for anyone using public transport services across the network.

Customer capacity limits to remain on public transport

Due to updated advice from the NSW Premier today the current capacity restrictions of 75 per cent will remain on public transport until late January, instead of increasing to 100 per cent at the end of December 2021. This decision has been made in light of the current environment, so that we continue to help keep our people and customers safe.

Working from home until the end of January

  • If you can, please work from home from now until the end of January – we appreciate working from home isn’t an option for all of our people, but if you can, please do.

  • Use the COVIDSafe measures if you need to enter a workplace – if you do need to enter one of our workplaces over the holiday period, please continue to use the COVIDSafe measures put in place to keep you and others safe. This includes using QR codes to check-in when attending a workplace or site controlled by Transport. It’s important we all commit to checking in to ensure we keep our workplace as safe as possible. 

Thank you to those who are working through the holiday period.

When should you get tested?

Given the high number of testing with people heading overseas and interstate for Christmas, it’s important we know when we do need to get tested and when we need to monitor for symptoms.

  • Casual or close contacts – if you have been told by NSW Health that you are a casual or close contract, you must follow the advice given by NSW Health.

  • If you’ve been at a confirmed case location – if you receive a COVID-19 case alert from NSW Health to notify that you may have been in contact with a person infectious at a recent location you’ve been to, you must monitor for symptoms and get tested if you are unwell.
