From that date gymnasiums, fitness centres and dance studios will be permitted to open.

Classes will be capped at 10 people and 100 per venue.

Indoor swimming pools, saunas and tattoo parlours will also be opened up with some level of restrictions.

NSW will also lift restrictions on community sport on July 1, beginning with sports for those 18 years and under.

“We all know that physical fitness is important to your mental fitness and that’s why it’s timely that we’ve made this announcement,” NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro said today.

Barilaro said the lifting of restrictions on sport and gyms had to be done in a “measured way” and strict social distancing will still apply.

The reopening of gyms and fitness studios also includes the lifting of restrictions on small community centres, which will be able to resume their services.  

“There are many services, including social welfare small groups that meet in community centres and it will just make it that much easier for them to be able to have their meetings and to give that mental health aspect back to our communities,” NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said.

Hazzard also issued a stern warning to the people of NSW to remain vigilant as restrictions are relaxed further.

“Gymnasiums, particularly, have been just behind beauty parlours in terms of demand to try and get back in there,” Hazzard said.

“I’m sure the community – having been through what they have been through in the last four months – don’t want to see an outbreak in transmission in Australia.”

It comes as NSW recorded six new cases of coronavirus overnight, bringing the total number of cases for the state to 3104.

All six new cases are travellers in hotel quarantine.

There are currently 72 patients being treated by NSW Health.

This includes one person being treated in an intensive care unit, although the patient does not require a ventilator.
