This includes Council’s Administration Building, Libraries, Hawkesbury Visitor Information Centre, Hawkesbury Regional Art Gallery, Hawkesbury Regional Museum, Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter and other indoor facilities.

    • practice good hygiene guidelines, including correct handwashing of 20 seconds

    To protect the community from COVID-19, rules and restrictions apply to the Greater Sydney region (which includes the Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains), the Central Coast and Wollongong.

    Some important information from
    NSW Health
     which relates to all of the Hawkesbury Local Government Area.
    Due to the growing risk from the Avalon outbreak, new restrictions were introduced for Greater Sydney from midnight last night to reduce the risk of further community transmission. These include:
    • Household gatherings are limited to 10 visitors (until 11.59pm on Wednesday 23 December).
    • The one person per four square metre rule is being re-introduced for all indoor settings, including hospitality venues and places of worship.
    • A cap of 300 people will apply for hospitality venues and places of worship.
    • Singing in indoor venues will now be restricted, returning to a maximum of five performers indoors, provided they are 1.5m from one another and at least 5m from the audience who are not allowed to sing along.
    • Dancefloors will not be permitted, except for weddings, when a maximum of 20 from the wedding party will be permitted.
    For the purposes of the Order, ‘Greater Sydney’ comprises the following local government areas: Bayside, Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Burwood, Camden, Campbelltown, Canada Bay, Canterbury-Bankstown, Central Coast, Cumberland, Fairfield, Georges River, Hawkesbury, Hornsby, Hunters Hill, Inner West, Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, Liverpool, Mosman, North Sydney, Northern Beaches, Parramatta, Penrith, Randwick, Ryde, Strathfield, Sutherland Shire, Sydney, The Hills Shire, Waverley, Willoughby, Wollondilly, Wollongong and Woollahra.

    People in The Hawkesbury are being called on to come forward for testing if they have any COVID-19 symptoms after the state’s sewage surveillance program detected fragments of the virus at the North Richmond treatment plant.

    Virus fragments in sewage can mean that there are active cases in the catchment area, but people can continue to ‘shed’ virus genetic material for some weeks after recovery.

    If you have symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, sore or scratchy throat, fever, loss of smell or taste, or shortness of breath, please get tested as soon as possible and isolate at home until you get the result.

    There are free COVID-19 Clinics across the region including local drive-through clinics operating at Hawkesbury Showgrounds in Clarendon, the Sydney International Regatta Centre at Cranebrook and Koolyangarra Aboriginal Child & Family Centre, Cranebrook.

    There is also a free GP-led Respiratory Clinic in Windsor which is available by appointment.

    More details about local COVID-19 Clinics.

    Please remember:

    • If you are unwell, stay in, get tested and isolate.
    • Wash your hands regularly. Take hand sanitiser with you when you go out.
    • Keep your distance. Leave 1.5 metres between yourself and other
