Waverley mayor Paula Masselos has disputed claims from the opposition that council is looking to reopen beaches in the eastern suburbs. Ms Masselos said this was "not the case" and that council was simply "looking at ways" to provide access to the water for ocean swimming and surfing for exercise."The Council has been looking at ways to manage restrictions at our beaches ever since they were closed on 21 March due to limits on public gatherings introduced by the state government," she said.

"The Council will let the community know when any further decisions have been made. As of this point, there is nothing further to report."NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has sent a stern warning to young people flouting COVID-19 restrictions, with 42 per cent of positive cases in NSW now people under 40.NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard updates the media on Saturday.

There is now 162 crew onboard who have tested positive for COVID-19, an additional nine from yesterday."We are still working through getting the results and testing all the crew, so we are yet to get to the point that we can say the crew are well enough to travel," she said. "We are putting the health of the crew first."There is now 13 crew members in health facilities across NSW.Two more people have died overnight in NSW, bringing the state toll to 26.

We know that was coming. They tried not to mention covid19 so that Olympic can go ahead. So scary! Now that it’s cancelled, they are finally dealing with it. With a huge population of older people, hopefully won’t be like Italy.

They should have been more focused on the health crisis than the Olympics. They didn’t act fast enough to shut the country down like Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

That’s really sad. UN

What happened? I thought they were in on top of c-19 at sometime.

What happened to the efficient Asian countries putting slack westerners to shame? Not so simple, eh?
