Member for Lismore, Janelle Saffin has taken to social media to announce that all of regional New South Wales, including Tweed Shire will go into a seven day lockdown from 5pm today, Saturday 14th of August.
This means that Tweed shire council district, Kyogle and Tenterfield Shire along with all other New South Wales regional local government areas will be in lockdown until Saturday the 21st of August.
