Stay-at-home orders in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) are being tightened in three key suburbs of Sydney, retail is being restricted, and construction paused as the state records that a man in his 80s has died after contracting COVID-19, amid 111 new locally acquired cases.

From midnight on Saturday, residents in the local government areas of Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown, and Liverpool are not allowed to leave their council area until July 30.
