New South Wales has recorded 1,405 COVID-19 cases and five deaths as the state's premier unveils a path out of lockdown.


And Victoria has recorded more than 320 new local COVID-19 cases as regions prepare to exit lockdown.


Highlights

  • Under the NSW roadmap, stay-at-home orders for adults who have received both vaccine doses will be lifted from the Monday after 70 per cent of the state's population over 16 is fully vaccinated.
  • Only fully vaccinated people and those with medical exemptions will have access to the eased restrictions.
  • People unvaccinated may only access critical retail outlets such as supermarkets.
