Australia news LIVE: Fresh rules for Sydney’s lockdown; COVID-19 cases spread into regional Victoria
Queensland has recorded no new cases of community transmission on Monday, as all eyes are on whether the government will move to strengthen border measures against NSW.
That number is slightly lower than the daily totals from the last few weeks, which is credited to both the fact that it was a Sunday and that recent clusters in Queensland have been settling down following low numbers of community transmission. “We do need to make sure there is a relatively even distribution because we have this problem for the next few months at least, because it is winter, and we need to get as many people vaccinated as we can throughout Australia.”Queensland Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says the media is hyping up the COVID-19 pandemic and has voiced his opposition to NSW’s lockdown.
“I mean, we have seen a number of cases now linked to the sporting events. And then associated social events around that. And so, that has moved very quickly, and of course, it’s moved in and out of Melbourne.”Police are already out in force today after pledging to crack down on people flouting lockdown rules on Sydney’s beaches.
