On July 22, 2021, Wikinews interviewed Professor Gigi Foster of School of Economics at the University of New South Wales about measures that the Australian government took to stop the spread of COVID-19, a virus that caused what the World Health Organization declared a pandemic last year.
The interview was conducted amid a wave of COVID-19 in New South Wales, that has resulted in an increase of restrictions from June 26, which gradually increased to the day. At the day of interview, residents were legally allowed to go outdoors only for essential shopping, medical care, and exercise, in groups of no more than two people unless of a common household.
The current outbreak of the COVID-19 Delta strain started from ‘patient zero’, a driver, which includes transporting international flight crew, as NSW Health reported on June 16. On June 24, the driver reportedly said he was getting tested regularly, and he didn’t work two days before testing positive, and commented that he thought that he caught the virus from a local cafe, where another patron was visibly unwell.
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has today said that “our mission is to allow our citizens to live as safely and freely as possible”, having announced stricter lockdown restrictions to be implemented until July 30 in Sydney. Residents of 5 south-western Sydney local government areas will not be able to leave those areas unless they are authorised workers, as defined by the New South Wales government.
