New South Wales has recorded 77 new COVID-19 cases and one death, and the Premier doesn't expect the numbers to fall anytime soon."I'm anticipating the numbers in New South Wales will be greater than 100 tomorrow," she said.So what does this mean for Greater Sydney's lockdown, which is meant to end on Friday?New South Wales recorded 77 new COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8:00pm on Saturday and its first death since December.
"Rather than having cases sit out there that are just becoming positive, we want to get them at the earlier time, because if we can get them just when they're becoming positive, they're less infectious."While the NSW Government hasn't directly said Friday's lockdown date will be extended, it has said it's likely.
"You should have basically hardly been out of the house, hardly been in contact with anyone else, and therefore we have confidence that the chain of transmission is really broken."
Odd for Chant to say they're 'ramping up testing' to get ahead of the transmission. What have they been doing up until now? Has the testing been as half-hearted as the lock down? It would be nice if they'd take the whole issue seriously. auspol covid19aus covid19nsw
They should get permission of family and sufferers and go to actual footage. Damn feelings ! Scar people shake them .., terrifying them into staying home. We are almost out of time to stop this plague . Saving life is paramount no matter how
Probably no more shopping a louis vitton ? Can you believe it GladysB smh
Get used to it.
Lockdown? We should have one, instead of the current glacially evolving Mockdown…
We will be lucky to be out of lockdown by mid August. Then there will be some pretty tough restrictions. I think all shops should be closed except for Supermarkets, chemists and Bunnings for emergency supplies. Everything should be online or click and collect. No public in shops.
It means Sydney should have done this weeks ago, it could have been over in less than a week. Avoiding it just makes it worse.
It means people are probably going to be imprisoned for longer.
Close all non-essential shops.
What lockdown? If you can go to IKEA it’s not a lockdown.
I’m guessing the family of 50’s first language probably isn’t English?
3 months of sitting it out waiting for the hubris, incompetence and corruption of our “leaders” to stumble on some good luck. Never have so few let down so many people.

How come the delta isn't causing any more issues in India?
It needs to actually happen. Any further questions?
Suggestion DELIVER a actual LOCK for the down talking & saying it will never make IT so So many of the self interested, over fear of a fine Have escaped 4 hours drive & you have 4Wd & Caravan 100 meters from Wingham Police Station
Well at a guess I'd say they'll have to go into a REAL lockdown that shuts everything not necessary for survival, and chose a gov't that has common sense at the next election, rather than one happy to play with lives.
Melbourne went from 68 a day 3/7/20 to 680 a day One month later 3/8/20 and it took until 16/10/20 to get below 5. 🤔
What it means to me- listening to favourite music and winter cleaning! Plus abc iview at night -can’t complain lockdownSydney2021
May be they need to be brave and have a real lockdown
What LOCKDOWN. Sydney aren't in LOCKDOWN 🧐 That's clear by the positive cases of community transmission of Delta Variant. COMPLACENCY BY SYDNEY
It’s going to go a lot longer than the initial two weeks?
