NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced a significant tightening of restrictions on people who live in eight Sydney local government areas after the state recorded 239 new local coronavirus cases on Thursday, the highest number it has reported within a 24-hour period.
The state recorded two new deaths in people who had COVID-19: a woman in her 90s who died on Wednesday morning at Liverpool Hospital and a man in his 80s from south-west Sydney who died on Wednesday afternoon at Royal North Shore. Both were not vaccinated, NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said. The source of infection of 126 cases is under investigation and only 81 were in isolation for their entire infectious period.
“I expect they’ll get higher before they get lower, we have to brace ourselves for that,” she said, citing a high number of cases still in the community.
marywardy Stay strong NSW❤️
marywardy I think it is wrong to lock down the whole state because of few cases. another thing , 5 minutes from my house in Wyong there is large fasciitis set up for corona testing .why they don’t vaccinate people as well after the test , which would speed up vaccination process
marywardy No excuse for everyone over 40 to not have at least one vaccination by now. Australians have done this to themselves by pssing about and not vaccinating themselves. I’m off to Rome for the weekend. See ya mid 2022 Australia when you’ve sorted yourselves out.
marywardy .GladysB This is the result of her being desperate not to do anything the same as DanielAndrewsMP I mean, God forbid it look like she agrees with any filthy Labour Party member. This weak ass lockdown is a complete and total failure
marywardy Wow, we have to get a grip, delta is almost a different virus, self optimised to spread via mere fleeting contact. It will spread everywhere if we don't keep a lid on it.
marywardy Antivax protesters result no doubt .😡
marywardy The protest effect? Thanks all that attended. 🙄
marywardy Watch that number climb now that Gladys has let loose all the tradies from the west. Brilliant work. Fantastic display of weakness.
marywardy Education not misinformation is key here. There is selective listening by decision makers that is impacting progress.
marywardy Promise more freedom to vaxxed people within 3 weeks no matter of the number of infections and people will flood the vax hubs!! It’s the only way out of this
marywardy Any News Corpse reporters asking for Gladys to be sacked? No?
marywardy Good thing we're a gold star state. Bet Gladys gets the special gold sticker
marywardy I am really sorry about Sydney. GladysB must be firmed. Mandatory Face Mask allowing 5 km radius for food w/ lockdown. It must b hard to manage but hang in there and pls be firmed.
marywardy Imagine how you muppets would be reporting this if it was Vic or Qld
marywardy Government brang it here to Australia by letting international flights in , stop the flights , but no the greed of the government keeps letting infected overseas people land in our Airports .
marywardy Don't be gullible, this is not a whole new game because of the delta variant. The same measures are used to deal with it, distancing, hygiene, lock-down, nothing is different, it's still a virus and still spreads the same! Lying Gladys!
marywardy Why we don’t have a curfew and a complete lockdown. Current one is just a joke with no effects
marywardy Awful. So many people going broke, so many businesses going bust.
marywardy Lockdown strategy will work if it’s the same rules for whole of Sydney . who are her experts someone ask . Glady buckles under pressure confusing leadership stop with the Delta excuse we know . so what you going to do ?
marywardy
marywardy Best time for curfew and ring of steel was weeks ago, 2nd best time is now, today’s changes are weak as piss.
marywardy 😳😳
marywardy .GladysB ... what were you saying about VIC and Dan not long ago? ... and QLD's short, hard, lockdowns? You really messed up, Lady!
marywardy Not 239 deaths? BreakingNews 352 road deaths in NSW in 2019. 297 deaths in 2020 even when there were not many cars on the road.
marywardy My goodness. I can't wait to see how this is spun or obfuscated.
marywardy Meanwhile in the eastern suburbs.............
marywardy Likely! Its already been worse
marywardy was quite an easy choice: 1) Temporarily and decimating the economy for 7 days 2) Temporarily and decimating the economy for what will be at least 3 months NSW got given the latter
marywardy If the gov is pushing astra it needs to take responsibility for deaths that could occur. Then we will take it. Untill then... No. I'll wait for pfiser.
marywardy Just mandate 5km for all and masks outside everywhere for all - far out
marywardy Well done ScottMorrisonMP…and another 2 deaths. How good is Delta 👍🏻 notmyPM lockhimup auspol
marywardy This is what happens when you wait and let it run Wild!
marywardy Absolutely hopeless.
