Sydney s northern beaches should be quarantined from the rest of the harbour city with an enforced military-style checkpoint, an expert warns.
About 270,000 northern beaches locals from the Spit Bridge to Palm Beach are effectively in a gentle lockdown for the next three days after 28 cases were linked to the area in the past 48 hours.
But the stay-at-home advisory is not enough and needs to be ramped up and enforced, epidemiologist Professor Tony Blakely said.
Checkpoints should be set up on the only three road routes in and out of the northern beaches: The Spit Bridge, Mona Vale Road and Warringah Road, he said.
