Australia reported its biggest daily rise in COVID-19 cases this year, fueled by a fast-growing outbreak of the Delta variant in Sydney despite the country's biggest city entering its third week of lockdown

New South Wales state reported 112 new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases, almost all of them in Sydney, despite the country's biggest city entering its third week of lockdown. Case numbers have been at record levels for at least three days.

State Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the progress of that figure in coming days would determine whether Sydney's lockdown, due to end on Friday, would be extended. Berejiklian said a majority of Monday's cases were family members or close friends of already infected persons, andpleaded with residents to comply with lockdown rules, which were tightened over the weekend.
