NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced that COVID-19 restrictions will continue for another week in regional NSW.

 

This means that existing restrictions remain in place until 11.59pm on Friday 16 July 2021.

 

What does this mean for village life?

  • RA team members will continue to wear masks while indoors in our communities.
  • Dining rooms, cafés, community centres and facilities remain open.
  • Activities will continue with a density limit of 1 person per 4sqm. If this impacts activity numbers, you will be notified.
  • Safe sales appointments continue with COVIDSafe protocols in place.

 

A reminder for residents

  • All residents and visitors must wear a mask when accessing community centres and any indoor amenities in the village.
  • You may have up to five visitors at a time in your home only. Visitors do not need to wear a mask in your home, unless they are delivering home care or medical care.
  • Please continue to screen your visitors and keep up-to-date with emerging COVID-19 hotspots. Village noticeboards are updated with this information daily.
  • If you were in Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour) on or after June 21, you must follow the Government’s stay-at-home orders for a period of 14 days after leaving Greater Sydney.
  • If you have any COVID-19 symptoms please get tested and let your Village Manager know.
