NSW Health is urging those in the affected area to be aware of any symptoms of illness, and immediately isolate and get tested should even the mildest of symptoms appear

"On the balance of probability, we probably have virtually eliminated community transmission," NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said on Wednesday.

Despite the achievement of no community transmission for almost a month, Premier Gladys Berejiklian cautioned against complacency. "Just because we haven't had any community transmission in the last 25 days doesn't mean we won't. In fact, I predict we will," Ms Berejiklian said. "We can't allow complacency to creep in although it's difficult not to let that happen especially this time of year."on Wednesday, which would see cricket crowds and major events, including the Sydney Festival, return.

The new rules, to be enforced from Monday, include a doubling of outdoor gatherings to 100 people and 5000 for outdoor events that are fenced, ticketed and seated, subject to the two square metre rule.
