Greater Sydney's COVID-19 lockdown has been extended until the end of September and a raft of new restrictions--including a curfew--will be introduced after NSW recorded 642 new infectons.

A curfew will be introduced for people in Sydney's 12 local government area (LGA's) of concern, which are currently subjected to extra restrictions because they are virus hot spots...

It will also be mandatory for everyone to wear a mask while outside their home unless they are exercising.

In Sydney LGA's of concern, people may only exercise outdoors for one hour per day from Monday.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian described the new restrictions as "final measures."

"The reason we are extending lockdown for another month and the reason we are imposing these additional measures in those local government areas of concern is because the vaccine takes two to three weeks of the first those who have effects," she said.

"We are throwing everything at this and doing everything we can now it is time to bunker down"...
