New South Wales and Sydney lockdown updates and number of new crown cases

Ms. Berejiklian defended her handling of the epidemic after being asked whether the state would now be free if we adopted stricter measures earlier.

“During the pandemic, every state has its own route and journey-Victoria is getting rid of the fifth lockdown, and I thank people for wanting to compare… But it’s fair to say that before that, our citizens were relatively free. Lead life,” she said.

However, she said, “There is no doubt that the current epidemic is serious.”

“Please know that we make decisions in the best interests of our citizens.”

Dr. McAnulty provided an update on the Liverpool hospital cluster, and the new cases are related to the Western Sydney site.

“Two nurses and one student nurse working in Liverpool (hospital) tested positive…Eight patients tested positive for Covid-19 and are currently in isolation, (we are working hard) to identify other contacts,” Dr. McAnuty said.

New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard issued a stern warning to those planning to protest the lockdown again this weekend, telling them to “step back and let us do our job as the crisis worsens. “.

At the same time, Dr. McAnulty said that previous protests may lead to a surge in new cases.

He said: “Whenever we make people in the crowd yell, there is no social distancing, which is a very dangerous situation for the spread of Covid.”

“So it depends on whether someone has contracted the new coronavirus and spread it as a result.

“Now we don’t know if anyone has participated in Covid. So far, we have not seen any signs of cases related to this, but we are watching these cases closely.”

This is official news-today is the worst so far since the latest Covid outbreak in Sydney in June, with 172 new cases confirmed.

It exceeds the record of 163 cases in the previous day.

Ms. Berejiklian revealed that as Western Sydney becomes the city’s new Covid zero, a decision on possible tightening of restrictions may be made as early as tomorrow.

She confirmed that a new announcement will be made soon.

“I think it’s important to note that now is a good time for health experts to provide us with good data on how and how the virus spreads,” she said.

“And we have always seen that key workplaces and homes are the main sources of virus transmission. They are issues that we need to pay attention to.

“But we are also very clear that we need to strengthen our strategy to ensure that people come forward and get vaccinated.

“So these are all things we will consider when we announce what life will be like after July 31st. I just ask people I know it’s really hard not to speculate, but please wait for the release of those I wish to post The announcement will be made as early as tomorrow to allow people to pay enough attention.”

Ms. Berejiklian has confirmed that the center of the Sydney epidemic has moved to the west of the city.

“We are now seeing this virus more prevalent in western Sydney than in southwestern Sydney,” she said.

“Of course, we hope that the Southwest community will remain vigilant, especially I want to call on the local government area in Fairfield, where they have achieved positive results in terms of the number of cases.

“But now we have seen the neighboring councils of Western Sydney have increased their number of cases. We specifically ask residents of the Canterbury Bankstown area in the Liverpool area of ​​the Cumberland community… to make sure they stay vigilant and they stand You will not leave your home unless it is absolutely necessary.”

Ms. Berejiklian provided the latest news on two women in their 80s who died of the new crown virus overnight.

“Unfortunately, they are family contacts from whom they contracted this disease,” the governor said.

“They are not vaccinated, I want to tell everyone, please come forward and get vaccinated.

“You are not only protecting yourself, but also protecting those closest to you.”

Today’s 172 new cases are clearly worrying, but perhaps more worrying is that 60 of them are contagious in the community.

At a press conference this morning, Jeremy McAnuti of the New South Wales Department of Health confirmed the grim news.

He also revealed that there are currently 171 patients hospitalized in New South Wales, of which 46 are in the intensive care unit and 19 are on ventilators.
