Australian state government declares “national emergency” in Sydney but rejects calls for sharp lockdown The New South Wales (NSW) Liberal-National Coalition government yesterday declared Sydney’s COVID-19 outbreak a “national emergency,” but rejected calls from epidemiologists for hard lockdown measures to curb the rapid spread of the highly-infectious Delta variant. The designation has no legal or constitutional basis. Nor was it accompanied by the elaboration of any concrete policies to tackle mounting infections, which continue to hit new daily records. Instead, the declaration of an “emergency” was coupled with assertions from Premier Gladys Berejiklian and NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant that nothing could or would be done to immediately reduce transmission.
