Berejiklian has once again stressed that people should not leave home and mingle with other households. This remains a challenging aspect of the latest outbreak that has prompted a lockdown that has so far lasted a month.

"Can I stress again, it is really important for people not to leave home unless they absolutely have to? And, in particular, do not mingle."
The state carried out more than 98,000 tests in 24 hours.
