호주 뉴사우스웨일스(NSW)주가 코로나19 확산을 막기 위해 지난 3월 말부터 시행해온 사회적 거리 두기 규정을 6월 1일부터 대폭 완화했다.
NSW주는 코로나19 확산이 진정되면서 6월 1일부터 소매 사업체 등을 중심으로 보다 완화된 사회적 거리 두기 규정이 시행됐다. 이에 따라 식당, 주점, 카페, 클럽 내부에 한꺼번에 입장할 수 있는 최대 고객 수가 기존 10명에서 50명으로 늘어났다.
최대 고객 수는 늘었지만 1인당 최소 4㎡ 공간을 유지해야 한다는 규정은 계속 적용된다.
식당 단체 예약은 최대 10명까지 허용됐다. 주점 안에 선 채로 술 마시는 것은 계속 금지되고 음주는 테이블에 앉은 상태에서만 가능하다. 미용실과 네일샵도 최대 10명까지 고객 입장이 가능하지만 역시 1인당 최소 4㎡ 공간을 유지해야 한다.
코로나19 전파를 막기 위해 대기 공간에 비치된 잡지나 책을 뒤적이는 것은 금지됐다.
비필수적인 이동 금지 조치가 풀려 국내 여행이 완전히 자유화되고 캐러밴 파크와 캠핑장 영업도 재개됐다.
종교모임(교회·모스크·회당 등)은 50명, 결혼식은 20명, 장례식은 50명까지 참석이 가능하게 됐다.
코로나19 여파로 20만명 이상 실업자가 발생한 NSW주의 글래디스 베르지클리언 주 총리는 “이번 사회적 거리 두기 완화 조치가 코로나19 경제 충격으로부터 벗어나는 계기가 되길 바란다”고 밝혔다.
