NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced the new figures, stating at least 50 of the new cases were infectious in the community.She said the public should expect more high case numbers in the coming days.The figures come after a leading epidemiologist claimed lockdown would not end on August 28.“Zero. It is not going to end,” Professor of Epidemiology Tony Blakely told ABC.“The most likely scenario is the lockdown will continue in some form or other, hopefully a little more relaxed for some months, at least two months until the vaccine coverage is upped.“I realise for the Sydney listeners I’m not bringing you good news, but good news – Christmas and New Year will hopefully be a lot better, as we get the vaccine coverage right and we haven’t opened up our border internationally.”More to come
