The headline is my take, there are reasons to believe the lockdown will be extended but hopes that it will not.

Some numbers for the preceding 24 hour reporting period:

  • 18 more cases
  • 11 of these were in isolation while infectious
  • 5 were in isolation for part of their infectious period only
  • 2 were in the community while infectious

Of concern is the numbers may be well under-reprting new cases as 32,000 tests were processed, which is significantly lower than previous days

Current state in NSW:

  • 6 people in ICU now
  • 2 are on ventilation

We are awaiting news from Premier Gladys Berejiklian's press conference in Sydney soon.
