NSW has introduced stricter rules about wearing masks, which now must be worn in all common areas of apartment buildings, including foyers, stairwells, lifts, common corridors and shared laundry facilities. The new rule was announced news broke of an outbreak at an apartment block in Bondi, where eight people across five different households have tested positive in the past 24 hours.
There are 29 apartments in the building on Botany Street in Bondi Junction, which is now under armed-guard lockdown, with the entrance taped off and all residents under strict stay-at-home orders. Those residents who have already tested positive have been moved to a state-controlled quarantine facility.
