Premier: NSW residents ‘should prepare’ for further restrictions

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says residents in Greater Sydney should brace themselves for restrictions as the city’s coronavirus crisis worsens. The state recorded 29 new locally acquired cases from over 55,000 tests conducted up until 8pm Friday night. "I think people should prepare for the news that we have given them to date which is the situation is worsening beyond what we would have liked to have seen this morning,” the premier said. “The reason for that is that the new exposure sites are outside of those areas of concern we’d highlighted." "Whilst it's early, there is concern that some of those cases may have been exposed for a number of days without the person knowing they had the virus, and that where our concern is. "That's what we will be looking at in the next few hours; that is what the health advice will be provided to myself and my colleagues, and we will rely on that advice if we need to update the orders, or if we need to update the extent to which people have to stay at home."
