NSW has reported 452 new local cases on Tuesday, as NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian warned 75 per cent of the infections were aged under 40.
Western Sydney suburbs currently of most concern to health authorities are: Blacktown, Seven Hills, Merrylands, Guildford, Auburn, Bankstown and Greenacre.“We ask everybody in those suburbs to be especially careful, not to leave home unless you have to, and please come forward for vaccination,” Ms Berejiklian said.
Of the 452 new cases in NSW, 101 were in isolation for their entire infectious period. The isolation status of the vast majority of cases – 323 – remains under investigation, 30 were in their community for their whole infectious period and 24 were in the community for part of it.While 321 of the new cases were recorded across western and south-western Sydney’s local health districts, significant numbers of new cases were recorded in regional areas.
NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro urged regional residents to come forward for testing and vaccination, and to not get “caught up” in debates comparing the two available COVID-19 vaccines. Dr Susan Pearce, who has been running NSW’s vaccination effort, said health authorities were excited, if not “a little daunted” by the task.
