Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced a curfew from 9pm until 5am for the 12 Sydney LGAs of concern.
“We have the advice about health and police who’ve worked together and presented these to us yesterday, that we will be implementing curfews, in those local government areas of concern from Monday from 9pm to 5am, you cannot leave your home. Unless of course it’s for authorised work or for emergencies,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“So police will be stopping everybody who’s leaving their home from 9pm to 5am, and again this is based on police feedback received in the last few days about the type of activity that’s unfortunately being carried out by a small number of people but as we said, Delta doesn’t leave any room for error.
“And I apologise deeply, to the vast majority of people in those communities for so doing the right thing, but for our own health and safety moving forward we need to make these difficult decisions.
“If you are in a local government area of concern we ask that you limit your exercise, to an hour a day, unfortunately too many people are using that for the wrong reasons.”
