Sydney Harbour foreshore shut down for New Year's Eve as NSW records five new COVID-19 cases

The New Year's Eve fireworks show in Sydney's CBD will be a TV-only event following Gladys Berejiklian's orders to shut down public access to the harbour foreshore following five new COVID-19 cases across NSW.

A short, seven-minute fireworks display will continue at midnight, with the NSW Premier urging people to watch that from home instead. The only way to watch the fireworks live will be from buildings with a view."So on New Year’s Eve, we don’t want any crowds on the foreshores around Sydney whatsoever," she said.

Ms Berejiklian thanked the 15,300 people who came forward for testing in the 24 hours to 8pm on Sunday. She said the state recorded five new cases of community transmission in the reporting period. "All of them [the new cases are] on the northern beaches and all of them obviously associated in one way or another with the Avalon cluster," she said.

"We are still going to have to ask you [southern section residents] to follow the stay-at-home provisions until January 2.
