The people in Australia have to sacrifice a lot to keep the corona numbers there low. Sydney remains in lockdown for the time being because of the Delta variant.
The lockdown in the Australian metropolis of Sydney will be extended by one week due to the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
The Corona numbers are still “higher than we would have liked,” said the Prime Minister of the state of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian. The message is therefore: “Do not leave your house.” At the same time, Berejiklian stressed that the regional government has the firm intention of lifting the restrictions on July 16.
Sydney on the Australian east coast has been in lockdown since June 26th. Citizens are only allowed to leave their homes in exceptional cases, schools are closed. In an international comparison, the numbers are still very low: 27 new infections were reported in New South Wales on Wednesday. However, nine cases are not related to the previously known corona clusters, which is causing concern for the authorities.
The 25-million-inhabitant country Australia has so far got the pandemic under control due to extremely strict rules. Around 30,800 cases have been confirmed nationwide. 910 people have died in connection with Covid-19. However, the vaccination campaign is making slow progress. The borders have been closed since March 2020.
