EXPLAINED: Why Sydney With 79 Active Covid-19 Cases Has Gone Into A Lockdown
Australia is widely seen as being a country that has had good success in controlling Covid-19. The country of close to 26 million people has had a little over 30,000 cases and less than 1,000 total deaths. Urgent actions like lockdowns and curbs on foreign arrivals were seen as having enabled the country to avoid the worst of the pandemic. It is, therefore, with surprise that many greeted the news that its biggest city, Sydney, was going into a two-week lockdown till July 9. As it turns out, the fresh restrictions were prompted by fears over a fresh surge of infections with the Delta variant.
