SYDNEY Australian authorities are further tightening restrictions in Sydney after reporting 44 new community cases, the largest number since a coronavirus outbreak began there last month. The city of more than 5 million is already in lockdown.
New South Wales State Premier Gladys Berejiklian said new restrictions would limit the number of people who can exercise together to two in most cases, and exercisers would need to stay close to home. The number of mourners at funerals would also be limited to 10 from Sunday.

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked a motion that would halt the implementation of some aspects of Georgia s new voting reform law.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee ruled that the timing of the request was improper due to the close proximity of the state s local runoff elections, set for Tuesday, and he determined that a change in Georgia s voting measures would hamper ballot casting already underway. We are at the juncture where all of the challenged provisions are already the law. Therefore, an injunction would not merely preserve the status quo; rather, it would change the law in the ninth inning, the judge wrote, according to CNN.
