Premier Dominic Perrottet the state. When lockdown measures begin to lift from 11 October, 10 visitors will be allowed in homes, not counting children 12 and under – double the limit of the previous roadmap. Perrottet also lifted the cap on outdoor gatherings from 20 people to 30, and increased the cap for weddings and funerals from 50 to 100 people.
