The message from acting premier James Merlino was clear: get vaccinated if you are eligible.

"I can't stress this enough," he said.

"The only pathway through the pandemic is for people to get vaccinated as soon as they're eligible, and for our state and our nation to have an alternative to quarantine in terms of high risk.

"Make your plan today."

Face coverings must be carried at all times and must be worn when you are indoors or outdoors except in your home or if you have an exemption.

There is a travel limit of kilometres from place of primary residence unless your nearest shops are further away than that distance.

"There's to be no public gatherings," Mr Merlino said. "In terms of what remains open; restaurants, pubs, and cafes can provide takeaway only.

"Essential retail, so supermarkets, food stores, petrol stations, banks, bottle shops and pharmacies, other retail stores can provide click and collect."

If you live alone, you are allowed to have a bubble with another person.

Early learning centres, childcare, family day care will remain open.
