Canberra-Sana
The Australian state of New South Wales, which is the most populous state in Australia, has recorded 2,081 cases of the highly contagious delta strain of the Corona virus.
Reuters quoted Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison as saying today that providing more vaccine supplies will not ensure that New South Wales will exit from general isolation, but what is required is an effective and correct general isolation.
Morrison described the anti-lockdown protests in Sydney as reckless and defeatist.
Thousands of people demonstrated yesterday in Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities in Australia, to reject the closure measures aimed at curbing the Covid 19 pandemic, and the police arrested a number of them in Sydney after violent clashes between the two sides.
