Changes to the roadmap this week mean if you’re fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption, you can do even more from Monday 11 October. The 3 stages of reopening NSW are: 70% full vaccination target reopening starts for people who are fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption – from Monday 11 October. 80% full vaccination target further easing of restrictions for people who are fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption.
