Australian Capital Territory
The ACT has issued a stay-at-home order for all of greater Sydney, as well as the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast and Wollongong and Shellharbour.
Non-ACT residents who have been in greater Sydney in the past 14 days will not be allowed into the ACT except in limited cases where exemptions are granted, and people who are given an exemption will still need to comply with the stay-at-home order.
Residents arriving back in the ACT who had been in greater Sydney since Monday 21 June will need to complete an online declaration form, and go direct to where they intend to stay for the stay-at-home period until at least 11.59pm on Friday 9 July, or until 14 days have passed since they were last in these areas - whichever is earlier.

The federal government has a four-step plan to get back to something resembling life as we knew it pre-COVID, and it all hinges on yet-to-be-announced vaccination targets.
AUSTRALIA will transition from trying to suppress COVID-19 to living with the disease once enough of the population is vaccinated.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week announced a four-phase plan to transition Australia from its first phase of virus suppression to a fourth phase of something resembling life as it was pre-pandemic.
Each new phase will be triggered when Australia hits a threshold of vaccinated people.
Mr Morrison said the current phase, phase one, involved vaccinating, preparing and planning.
