In a first since the Covid pandemic began in early 2020, health officials have ordered NSW residents to stay within a certain radius of their homes.

From 5pm Friday locked down residents in Greater Sydney and surrounding regions have been told they cannot travel further than 10km from their house.

The tightened restrictions were announced as the city struggles to control an outbreak of the contagious Delta strain - with premier Gladys Berejiklian announcing 50 new cases on Saturday.

For those who don't know exactly where the 10km boundary from their house extends there is an easy way to check.

The website KM From Home allows users to enter their address and see a red circle on a map appears indicating exactly where they can travel to.

After Ireland introduced similar measures last year, the website was established and has now been tweaked for use anywhere.

To use the service simply allow the website to access your location - a popup will appear - or you can type your address or even drag a pin to the correct point on the map.

Residents in Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Woollongong, Central Coast, and Shellharbour are in the midst of an already extended three week lockdown - with the premier hinting another extension was not off the table.

From 5pm on Friday exercising outdoors must be limited to groups of two - down from the 10 previously allowed - and people must stay within 10km of their homes when exercising.

Additionally, car pooling with members of other households is no longer allowed and only one person from a household per day should go to the shops for essential items.
