“Temporary restrictions for Tweed Shire Council, Ballina Shire Council, Byron Shire Council and Lismore City Council will be lifted at 11.59pm tonight (Monday),” he said.
“However, the ending of these temporary restrictions has no impact on the self-isolation requirements for a large number of people in these areas who are close contacts.
“These people must continue to isolate for the full 14 days from their date of exposure, and get tested again at the end of this period.”
Mask-wearing will no longer be mandatory, but the health expert said NSW Health “strongly recommends” people in the Northern Rivers area wear a mask in public indoor settings.
