Premier Dominic Perrottet has announced "major changes" to NSW's roadmap out of COVID-19 lockdowns, as the state recorded 587 new cases and eight deaths.
One of the headline tweaks will be reopening schools for many year groups early.
Fully vaccinated adults are due to get a swathe of new freedoms from Monday — including being able to do things like eat at restaurants and go to the gym, which have been off limits in some areas for more than 100 days.

While the settings around hospitality and retail remain unchanged, Mr Perrottet announced several major departures from the previous blueprint, including:
Increasing the number of adults allowed to gather in homes from five to 10
Increasing the number of adults allowed to gather in public spaces from 20 to 30
Increasing the cap of people at weddings and funerals from 50 to 100
Reopening indoor pools
A ban on singing at religious services will also be tweaked, with performers — including choirs of up to 10 people — permitted.
