Australia's biggest city will lift more Covid-19 curbs for vaccinated residents ahead of schedule next week, while delaying freedoms it has promised for unvaccinated Sydneysiders as officials aim to boost inoculations.
Vaccinated people in the harbour city of around five million will be allowed unlimited numbers of guests in their homes from Nov 8, Reuters reported.
Pubs and clubs will also be able to accommodate more guests and reopen dance floors, in changes that were initially planned to come into force on Dec 1.
“We have always wanted to open up in a measured way and incentivise vaccination rates,” State Premier Dominic Perrottet told reporters in Sydney.
