Australia news LIVE: NSW records 207 new local COVID-19 cases; Queensland lockdown extended as cases grow by 13

NSW reported 207 new local coronavirus cases on Monday, at least 72 of whom were in the community while infectious.

There were 239 new cases reported on Sunday, the equal highest number of cases recorded in the state during a 24-hour period.There will be a slight tweak to Victoria’s COVID rules from 11.59pm tomorrow night: there will no longer be limits to group bookings for hospitality venues, tours and gyms. “As the Chief Health Officer has shown by just that tweak for group bookings, public health team are always open to sensible suggestions, but equally the team made it pretty clear that the two week arrangement was in place for that careful, stepped process of managing the Delta variant of concern.”Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young insists she has not changed her stance on younger people getting the AstraZenaca vaccine in the face of the state’s current outbreak.

“We’d love to have more vaccine and we’d love to see more people vaccinated but we’re not going to give people a vaccine that’s not recommended to them,” he said.Residents along the NSW-Victoria border will only be able to cross the border to access essential services, caregiving and exercise from 11.59pm tomorrow night.

“The outbreak in NSW continues to grow, and with projections and modelling suggesting that the position in New South Wales is likely to get worse before it gets better, it’s prudent that Victoria takes measures to make sure that the border bubble operates as safely as we possibly can,” he said. “The plea there for all of our community who are doing the right thing, for those that think that what they want to do is more important than the broader community – wake up to yourself.”The extended lockdown means Brisbane’s Ekka, the annual agricultural show, has been cancelled for the second year in a row.

The state recorded two cases in hotel quarantine. The new community cases are all linked to existing outbreaks.
