NSW has cancelled plans to thank front line coronavirus workers by giving them a bird's eye view of Sydney's famous New Year's Eve fireworks.
The government had allocated a 'green zone' around the harbour foreshore including the Opera House just for the workers, who were invited to attend from across the state.
"Unfortunately, we're going have to cancel that," Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Monday.
"It's too much of a health risk having people from the regions and from Sydney and from broader regional areas congregate all in the CBD."
