It's been a tough year so far. A holiday is a great way to recharge. While you're relaxing it's vital you keep doing what works to protect the community.

If you're planning a getaway in regional NSW please stick to the rules. Indoor spaces can be high-risk for the spread of COVID-19. If you're holidaying with friends and extended family, handwashing and physical distancing rules still apply.

If you're feeling unwell, please don't travel - stay home and get tested. If you're somewhere that makes it hard to stay 1.5m from others, please wear a mask.

Having a gathering at your place? Every guest is responsible

You may feel safe among family and friends, but COVID-19 has spread easily at social gatherings.

The rule is that you can invite up to 20 guests over, but we're recommending you keep it to 10 people.

If you break the rules and have more than 20 people at your place, every visitor may be held responsible and given a $1,000 on-the-spot fine, not just the host.

Remember to stay 1.5m apart, say "no" to hugs, and wash your hands often.

$1,500 Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment available

NSW Workers who have no leave entitlements are eligible for a one-off $1,500 payment for every 14 days they are directed by NSW Health to self-isolate or quarantine - or when caring for someone with COVID-19.

The Pandemic Leave enables workers to self-isolate or care for family members while still being financially supported. If you're a part of a couple you can both claim this payment.

Up to 150 seated guests allowed at weddings

Even with the current restrictions you can still organise a great wedding. The ceremony and the reception can have up to 150 guests, but they must be seated.

The total number of guests allowed depends on the size of your venue; the 4-square-metres per guest and physical distancing rules still apply.

Only the wedding party, up to a maximum of 20 people, is allowed on a dance floor. There can't be a rotation of people on the dance floor beyond this wedding party.

Bigger crowds allowed at sport stadiums

From 1 October, Sydney stadium capacity increases to 50% (up to 40,000 spectators) for major sporting events.

If you're going to attend, you need to be wearing a mask whenever you're not sitting at your seat. This means you should also wear a mask on public transport getting to and from the venue.
