Retail employees and political staff are among the list of workers who have been granted an exemption to leave Covid-19 hotspots in Greater Sydney. The NSW Government has posted a list of 35 different professions that allows residents to leave Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown and Liverpool local government areas for work. It comes after state premier Gladys Berejiklian cracked down on stay-at-home orders and barred residents from leaving the three local government areas. Residents of Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown and Liverpool local council cannot leave their LGA for work except for emergency services and healthcare workers, including aged and disability workers. 'No matter where you live in metropolitan Sydney, Greater Sydney, you must have a mask with you,' Ms Berejiklian said.
