Australia’s most populated state is heading into a bigger crisis, with Sydney recording 390 new cases today

The Premier of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian has been told by other state leaders that she must consult national cabinet with an agreed plan to manage a rapidly growing outbreak of COVID-19 in her state.

According to the The Sydney Morning sources with knowledge of the national cabinet discussions, state that Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and West Australian Premier Mark McGowan warned against unilateral action from individual states.

Under the national plan, states are supposed to use lockdowns and restrictions to pursue zero daily cases of COVID-19 transmitted in the community until at least 70 per cent of eligible Australians are vaccinated, with further freedoms granted at 80 per cent.

“We are currently in lockdown. Lockdown plus some level of easing of restrictions is possible once we get to 50 per cent and 60 per cent rates of vaccination,”

Ms Berejiklian said.
