Sydney needs 80%

THE NSW Government has confirmed that fully vaccinated Sydneysiders will need to wait until the state hits 80% double jabbed before travel to regional areas will be permitted.

Newly installed Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole reiterated that it would still be “a few more weeks” before residents from Greater Sydney can travel out to the regions for holidays or recreation.

“We know people are busting to get out and explore the best of the bush...but this is not something we’re going to rush,” Toole said.
