Do you think further restrictions need to be imposed in NSW, following a spike in COVID19 cases overnight?
“We appreciate that a lot of the places people normally flock to will be very busy on the weekend and the Deputy Commissioner and his team are on high alert to make sure that all authorities appreciate what could occur on the weekend if people don’t recognise the need to socially distance,” she said.
Ms Berejiklian said residents need to be on high alert to ensure the situation in NSW doesn’t get out of control. “We have to be vigilant every single day and we had to state that has numbers will go up and down marginally for the next little while and we need to make sure that they don’t get to a situation where we are having to impose further restrictions,” she said.
“I’m not suggesting that is where we are heading but we have to stay vigilant to make sure that doesn’t happen.”“Every week we are detecting unknown sources, even though it’s in relatively low numbers, but every week those numbers accumulate, and it’s really, really important to have residence in south-western Sydney to come forward with even the most mildest of symptoms and of course we are increasing our channels of communication on the ground to encourage that level of testing,” she said.
