Covid restrictions on social gatherings Christmas: Sydney

Authorities in Sydney have extended Covid restrictions on social gatherings across Christmas in a bid to curb an outbreak in Australia's largest city.

Most Sydneysiders will continue to be able to have 10 adult visitors to their home over the holiday period. But in a slight relaxation of rules, young children can be included on top of that number between 24-26 December.

Sydney saw just eight new cases on Wednesday, fuelling optimism about efforts to contain the outbreak. The New South Wales (NSW) state government said a total of 98 cases had been found in the state capital since last week.
