The NSW Government’s COVID-19 committee is meeting today, with a decision about future mask rules expected.
While mask mandates were expected to be dropped when the state hits the milestone of 95 per cent fully vaccinated (predicted for 15 December), they may remain in place on public transport and other high-risk settings.
Unlike the ACT, where masks are no longer mandatory in most settings, NSW has kept the mask mandate in most indoor settings.
