NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said she wanted to indicate that she also “strongly supported” the new restrictions, which complement other actions. “I apologise deeply, to the vast majority of people in those communities who are so doing the right thing, but for our own health and safety moving forward we need to make these difficult decisions,” Ms Berejiklian said.
