The Local Emergency Management Committee, comprising State agencies, NGOs, and Central Darling Shire Council meet daily to ensure services to COVID affected areas are coordinated and able to meet immediate needs.

STAY AT HOME

Stay at home directions are still in place across the whole of NSW and will continue until 11.59pm Friday 10 September 2021. This means you cannot have visitors to your home, including family and friends, and you can’t visit people on a social basis, including family and friends.

You can leave home for essential purposes which includes

  • Grocery shopping (only one member of the household)
  • Getting a test
  • Getting a vaccine
  • Seeking medical assistance for illness or ongoing conditions
  • Welfare checks for residents who are living alone.

There are guidelines on visiting residents who live alone, who are frail or aged, or are vulnerable. Only one person should visit one vulnerable person under the Singles Bubble provisions. This person should not be visiting others. Further guidelines are available on the NSW Health COVID-19 website.
