- Hundreds of thousands of people will be confined to metropolitan Sydney under new rules as NSW records 16 new local COVID-19 cases and the size of the Bondi cluster in Sydney's east expands to 31.

- The new restrictions mean people who live or work in the City of Sydney, Waverley, Randwick, Canada Bay, Inner West, Bayside and Woollahra local government areas cannot travel outside Greater Sydney unless essential.

- Under new restrictions, household visitors are limited to five people including children, and masks are now compulsory in non-residential indoor settings - including workplaces - and at outdoor events.

- Eight of the 13 local NSW cases confirmed after 8pm on Tuesday attended a birthday party in West Hoxton on Saturday which NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant described as a "super spreader event".

- Western Australia has reimposed a hard border with NSW, with travel from anywhere in NSW banned. Exemptions can be granted on compassionate grounds but those travellers must self-isolate for 14 days.

- South Australia has closed its border to NSW, with only essential workers and returning South Australians exempt from the rule. A 100-kilometre buffer zone will be in place on the NSW-SA border, including Broken Hill.

- Victorians can from Friday welcome 15 guests into their homes or 300 at weddings and also return to sports events as COVID-19 restrictions are stripped back in time for the school holidays.

- Tasmania has closed its border with residents of the seven Greater Sydney LGAs at the centre of the outbreak, but not all of NSW.

- Queensland has also closed its border to the seven Greater Sydney LGAs, adding six of the council areas after earlier locking out Waverley residents.

- A dying man may get to see his son for a final time after the Queensland government foreshadowed the granting of a quarantine exemption, if NSW can show how transport between the states will be managed.
