Premier Gladys Berejiklian said today that "pleasingly" the cases were not outside the main eight Sydney local government areas of concern. Ms Berejiklian said in the previous 24 hours more than 82,000 people in NSW had been vaccinated. There are currently 222 Covid-19 cases admitted to hospital in NSW. Mr Hazzard said there was a reluctance for large "refugee family groups" where there are few income earners to come forward to health authorities.
