Covid 19: NSW records 177 new cases, four-week lockdown extension confirmed
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has confirmed 177 new Covid cases were recorded overnight.
It comes as 172 new infections were announced yesterday, making it the worst day since the current outbreak began.
Ms Berejiklian has finally confirmed that Greater Sydney will remain under lockdown for an extra month.
At the moment, the lockdown is set to lift on August 28.
Three extra LGAs – Parramatta, Campbelltown and Georges River – have been added to NSW s red zone list.
New South Wales has reported 98 local coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, with a slight decrease in the number of people infectious in the community and data in the next few days likely to signal if Greater Sydney s lockdown will be extended.
Twenty people had been infectious while out and about, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said, while defending the decision to stop a variety of sectors, including construction, working for at least two weeks. The closer we get that number to zero, the sooner we can end the lockdown, Ms Berejiklian said.
LIVE UPDATES:
Vaccination rates in NSW had to be much higher, the premier said, explaining that a target of 80 per cent of adults was needed in order to really dial back coronavirus restrictions.
The New South Wales government website responsible for business cash grants has buckled and crashed this afternoon, as companies whose revenues have been hit by the Greater Sydney lockdown rush for urgent financial help.
9News political reporter Chris O Keefe posted the temporarily unavailable Service NSW error message on his Twitter account, and said only 1000 businesses have been able to access money so far .
The error message stated an unprecedented demand for the 2021 COVID-19 business grant had caused the meltdown. The network error was also affecting other online grant application programs, 9News.com.au can confirm.
