Lockdown in Sydney extended for 2 weeks

New South Wales authorities have confirmed that the measures placed in the city of Sydney will be extended by at least two weeks and that the restrictions in other areas of the state will remain in place for now.

The city, Australia’s largest, is entering its third week of lockdown, reinstated in order to contain the new Delta variant of the coronavirus.

On Monday, the country confirmed a year-high number of daily infections, fuelled by the outbreak of the highly contagious variant, which prompted the state government to take action.
