Gladys Berejiklian has shot down reports she is considering locking down Sydney until mid-September and revealed she is 'weighing up' a more targeted shut down. The Australian reported the NSW government was previously considering extending lockdown until September 3 but is now weighing up an extension until September 17. In an interview on the Today show on Monday morning, the premier denied the report, saying: 'I don't know where they got that date from. It's news to me.' 'What I do know is that the experts are meeting with myself and colleagues and senior government officials this week, to actually talk about what life beyond July 31 looks like,' she added.
