Please see below the approved text to accompany the social media tiles for posting:

You should not have visitors to your home, other than for essential caring reasons, if you’re in Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour areas). Socialising isn’t a reasonable excuse to have visitors or leave home.

If you need care or assistance (including personal care), you should limit your visitors to one person.

We understand that it’s hard, but we cannot visit family and friends right now. Once one person has COVID-19, we are quickly seeing many of their close contacts infected as well.

Use social media, phone and video calls to stay in touch instead. It’s vital that everybody stays home unless it is absolutely essential to leave the house.

Your feedback is vital for policy, decision making and government messaging. Please continue to pass your concerns and questions to us.

In particular, we are very interested in your views and feedback on the following:

  • Any community concerns
  • Racism or discrimination
  • Reception to government messaging
  • Community misconceptions
  • Issues related to travel restrictions and associated processes
  • Instances of misinformation or scams targeting your community
  • Any new economic impacts on the community
  • Any other emerging community issues.
