Premier Gladys Berejiklian said two adults – and their children – will be able to visit anyone else in their home.
However, she said it is not a licence to go wild and have massive parties.
Also, if you are visiting anyone 70 years of age or over, make sure you practice really good social distancing and if you have the mildest sniffle or are feeling unwell don’t go.
The Premier has also welcomed increased retail activity.
“We encourage people to buy what they need, to buy what they want, but please remember good social distancing and follow all the hygiene requirements,” she said.
An additional five cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in the 24 hours up to 8pm, Monday, April 27, bringing the total to 3,009.
During that time, 4,112 people were tested, compared to 4,418 in the 24 hours before. All of today’s new cases acquired COVID-19 from known sources.
NSW Health is urging people with symptoms, including mild symptoms, to be tested to ensure as many cases of COVID-19 in the community are as identified as quickly as possible.
