The good news comes as Sydney-siders enjoyed their first weekend of relaxed restrictions, with 30 people now allowed to gather in homes and masks no longer being mandatory in all indoor public settings.

Also from today, people from NSW are able to enter South Australia and Tasmania without needing to quarantine.

Queensland will open its borders to Greater Sydney from 1am on Monday AEST.
