The Australian state of New South Wales recorded zero new locally acquired Covid-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8pm on Saturday from more than 18,000 tests. As a result, the NSW government has extended its current Covid-19 restrictions for another week, except for mask usage in retail settings. Sydneysiders were this week urged to wear masks and adhere to other restrictions without cancelling their Mother's Day plans.
