The number of people permitted in a venue will be determined by the four-square-metre rule, which means each venue can determine its own capacity depending on its internal size.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed-podcast\/show\/7atRdaOsvf4N7bZxMQxgrn\" width=\"100%\" height=\"232\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>From July 1, sporting venues with a capacity of 40,000 or less will be able to have spectators again. However, they will only be permitted to function at 25 per cent capacity &#8211; to account for, you guessed it, social distancing &#8211; but, baby steps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will mean that a venue with a 40,000 person capacity will be able to accommodate up to 10,000 people at an event. This is not reserved for sporting matches only: the new change paves the way for other social events such as outdoor concerts and festivals. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venues with a maximum capacity of more than 40,000 people will remain closed for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s a catch (because isn\u2019t there always): these changes have only been drafted for New South Wales. While we\u2019re sure other states will follow suit there has not been any official news as such, at time of reporting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NSW government also foreshadowed a future announcement regarding nightclubs, bars without table service and music festivals. These sorts of businesses and events will remain closed through July due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions but may be allowed to resume in August, subject to the advice of the state\u2019s health experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 9:40am June 15, Australia has recorded 102 deaths from COVID-19 amid 7,319 total cases and 378 currently active cases of coronavirus.
