Hospital visiting rules have been relaxed in NSW after a backlash from families denied the chance to be at the bedside of their dying loved ones because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Premier Dominic Perrottet announced the easing of hospital visiting guidelines as the state reported another 24 COVID-19 deaths and 10,130 infections on Thursday.
The gravely ill, dying, and giving birth will now be able to have visitors as a general rule.
