The New South Wales government has explained how the relaxation of social distancing rules will work this Friday.
Two people will be able to visit another household at the end of the working week after encouraging coronavirus infection numbers were released.
You'll be allowed to do this for the purpose of providing care, helping reduce social isolation and improving someone's mental health.

However, many wondered whether there were still rules about how far you can travel to see your friends and loved ones.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian has revealed there will be no geographic limit on how far you can go to fulfil this need, according to 10daily.
So if you're in Wollongong and have someone to see in Sydney to make them feel better, you're a-okay. As long as you still practice social distancing once you're in the presence of other people, you should be fine.

But Ms Berejiklian warned that people shouldn't use this easing of restrictions to go all out.
"We have allowed for the relaxation of this restriction based on the definition or the extension of the definition of care. It doesn't mean we can all just relax and do what we like," the Premier said.
"We need to stay vigilant.
"We have seen around the world countries think they're over it, they get complacent and thousands of people die as a result in a very short period of time. We don't want to see it happen in NSW."

New South Wales still leads Australia with the highest number of coronavirus cases with 3,009 out of Australia's 6,731 positive test results.
We've been warned that restrictions will be reinforced if we take this inch and run a mile with it.
The Premier yesterday said: "We know many people have been cooped up for a number of weeks.
"We're just saying be responsible. We're not going to dictate what those visits entail. It comes down to a level of social responsibility.

"This isn't a license to go wild and have wild parties."
So let's all be responsible and enjoy the new rules.
