  • shopping for necessary goods and services 
  • care and caregiving, including medical care, or to get a COVID-19 test
  • exercise 
  • authorised work and permitted study 
  • to get a COVID-19 vaccination

You must stay within 5km of your home for shopping and exercise. This limit does not apply to work, when giving or receiving care, getting a COVID-19 vaccination or visiting an intimate partner or your single social bubble buddy.

Face masks must be worn indoors and outdoors whenever you leave your home.

Face masks do not need to be worn indoors or outdoors if you are working alone unless another person enters that indoor or outdoor space.
