NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has just revealed her plan for what life is going to look like when NSW finally reaches its 80 percent vaccination goal. She confirmed the state is on track to hit its 70 percent vaccination goal on October 11, with the 80 percent vaccination goal due to being reached about two weeks after that.
News.com.au confirms that the following changes will be in full effect for fully vaccinated residents from the Monday once the 80 percent vaccination milestone is reached:
• Residents will be able to travel anywhere freely in NSW
• People will be able to stand up and drink at the pub
• Up to 10 visitors will be allowed to a home
• Community sport will reopen
• All venues and businesses will operate at the one person per four square metre rule indoors and two square metre rule indoors
• There will be no limit on guests at weddings and funerals for fully vaccinated people
• Customer caps for personal services such as hairdressers will be removed
• International travel will be able to be considered
News.com.au further confirms that the following changes will also kick in on December 1:
• Venues will move to the two square metre rule
• Masks will not be required indoors at offices
• Indoor pools and nightclubs can reopen
Ms. Berejiklian further said, “we envisage we will have at least 90 percent of our adult population vaccinated by then.”
“Obviously a number of things kick in at 80 percent, including community sport, regional travel, and a whole range of other things, and then on December 1 will be the final stage of reopening where unvaccinated people will be able to participate.
“Now the only exception is for places of worship at 80 percent double dose unvaccinated people will be able to attend places of worship at 80 percent double dose but that is it and we ask people to exercise a huge degree of caution.”
