NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell says restrictions banning graduations and formals will be in place for term three but could be lifted by term four.

More than 25,000 parents and students have signed a petition against New South Wales’ coronavirus ban on year 12 school formals and graduations. New South Wales introduced new restrictions on schools from Wednesday in bid to contain the spread of COVID-19 through Sydney’s school system. Under the new measures, all graduation ceremonies and formals will be scrapped and all spectators banned from school grounds, including parents.

“These are the guidelines we are following for health; they will be in place for term three, but we will look at what options there might be available for term four,” Ms Mitchell told Sky News host Peter Gleeson. “I know many schools are looking at virtual graduations and assemblies so parents can livestream those activities. “Certainly, after the HSC exams, if there’s opportunities to work with health around what we might be able to do, I’m certainly very open to that.

NSW Premier stands firm on govt's handling of hotel quarantine system | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian is standing by her government’s handling of COVID-19 after a hotel quarantine security guard tested positive to the virus on Tuesday.\n\n“It’s actually been a miracle that we haven’t had anyone contract the virus in that setting before now,” she said. \n\nThe Premier pointed out most people entering Sydney were not NSW residents.\n\n “With Melbourne out of the picture Sydney is pretty much picking up the load and if we don’t do it … you won’t have Australians being able to come back home and secondly those international flights will get cancelled”.\n\nThe state's Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said “on average we have about one or two cases predominantly from south-western Sydney and western Sydney where the source is unclear”. \n\nWhile only seven COVID-19 cases were recorded across NSW in the past 24 hours, she flagged the possibility for chains of transmission to be occurring unreported. \n\nImage: Getty

NSW should not have to 'bear the brunt of hotel quarantine' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Andrew Bragg says the states and territories need to 'share the burden' of hotel quarantine for returned travellers.\n\nMr Bragg said hotel quarantine in NSW was at a bit of a “choke point” with approximately 350 people held in mandatory isolation each day.\n\n“One of the most successful components of our strategy to beat the coronavirus has been closing international borders,” the Senator acknowledged.\n\n“We do need to see the states providing more capacity on hotel quarantine so we can have higher entrance into Australia”.\n\nHis comments responded to a push to open international borders and allow Australians to travel overseas at their own risk with hotel quarantine upon return.\n\nIn contrast, Labor MP Anika Wells said, “we’ve always got to balance … public health and safety with the best of the medical advice and the best industry advice.”\n\n“If Qantas is working on the basis that international borders won’t open until mid-next year, then that’s what we should be focusing on,' she said.\n\nImage: AP ajamesbragg Like sharing cruise ship passengers by air?
