NSW has recorded 1,022 new locally acquired cases and 10 deaths. Currently, 53 per cent of eligible residents are fully vaccinated.
Byron Shire, Kempsey and Tweed's local government areas will go into a seven-day lockdown from 5pm today after a positive COVID case from Sydney visited several communities on the NSW north coast.
From today, a group of three friends under the age of 18 can visit each other at home as long as they live within 5 kilometres and in the same local area. The "friends bubble" is only permitted in households where all adults are fully vaccinated.
Australian Red Cross delivers one-off financial assistance for people on temporary visas or without visas affected by NSW lockdowns.
