Masking wearing indoors will become mandatory in NSW from midnight tonight as the state government reintroduces restrictions to curb the Omicron wave.
Premier Dominic Perrottet has announced density limits of one person per 2 square metres for hospitality venues would also be reinstated from December 27, while QR code measures will be “back in a limited way”.
The mask and density rules will be in place until January 27.
The wearing of masks indoors and the use of QR code check-ins were largely scrapped on December 15 but the state has seen a big increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.
Mr Perrottet said QR codes would be reintroduced in hospitality and retail settings.
He said the changes were “modest” and would relieve the strain on a health system decimated by the loss of 1,500 staff members who were unwell or isolating.
