"So what the data is telling us in the last few days is that we haven't seen the worst of it," Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Wednesday. Those aged 16 to 39 living in the 12 local government areas of concern will be given priority access to the Pfizer vaccine at NSW Health clinics from Thursday. NSW Health has also clarified that people can attend a gravesite for compassionate reasons such as an anniversary of a dead child or following a recent death of someone close. BreastScreen NSW announced on Tuesday it would suspend all routine breast screening across NSW because of the outbreak.
