NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says there is “no evidence” tougher lockdown restrictions on Greater Sydney will help curb the state’s ongoing outbreak.
The state recorded its highest daily total of infections on Tuesday with 356 confirmed cases with no signs of improvement as Sydney endures its seventh week of stay-at-home restrictions.
Asked if tougher restrictions should be implemented, Ms Berejiklian said: “There is no evidence to suggest that that is the case”.
“I said very clearly that if we need to do more, of course we would based on the health advice.
“We're not in the business of putting in provisions or asking people to do things if they're not going to have an effect in reducing the case numbers.
“If we thought that they would have a significant or even marginal impact, of course, we'd do those things.”
