A NSW man in his 70s has died last week from respiratory complications following a COVID-19 infection diagnosed in March. His death brings NSW's total to 56 deaths.Although his death is considered to be related to COVID-19, he had recently tested negative, was no longer infectious and posed no risk to the community.
A short, seven-minute fireworks display will continue at midnight, with the NSW Premier urging people to watch that from home instead Indoor and outdoor gatherings will be allowed for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day but will be restricted to 10 visitors in total from within the zone The Belrose Hotel, where a mysterious transmission of the virus was found - but unlinked to the Avalon cluster.She added the detective work was quite challenging as symptoms of COVID-19 could be mild, with someone putting fatigue down to a long shift of work rather than the virus.
"So unless you have a permit to go to someone's home with not more than 10 people, or you have a permit from Service NSW to attend a hospitality venue, nobody should be in the CBD at all. "We don't want people moving in and out of the area for the next few days. We want to keep the area separate to make sure that any untraced chains of community transmission have actually been clamped down."Outdoor gatherings across Greater Sydney will be reduced from 100 to 50 people, with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian urging people to stay at home for New Year's Eve celebrations.
