NSW yesterday recorded 16 new Covid-19 cases- the lowest number since the 14-day lockdown was imposed on Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour.
It came after cases peaked on Saturday, with 35 locally acquired infections recorded. On Friday there were 31.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said case numbers could still bounce around but Sunday s figures were where we want them to be .
However compliance with public health orders over the the coming days would be absolutely critical for whether the lockdown would end as planned at midnight on 9 July. It only takes one or two people not to do the right thing for things then to go up, she said.
Surging Covid case numbers won t stop Sydneysiders from soaking up the sun in city parks and beaches, despite the pleas of New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
Locations in current Covid hotpot areas around Sydney s Eastern Suburbs were chocabloc with locals desperate to get out the house for fresh air after a week of dismal weather.
Centennial Park - bordered by current cluster outbreaks in Bondi Junction, Randwick and Paddington - was close to capacity as families made the most of the good winter weather.
