Key Sentence:
- New South Wales leaders have warned that this is the "worst situation in Australia" since the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Prime Minister Gladys Bereciklian said rules would be tightened in the blocked state's capital, Sydney.
The fine on Covid will also be A$5,000 ($3,685; $2,656) from A$1,000. "This is a real war, and we know we have been at war for some time, but never on such a scale," Berecikilian told reporters.
September and October were "tough," he added.
The death toll and the death toll in the Australian state remain relatively low compared to some of the world's worst outbreaks, including the United States and Britain. However, local infectious infections hit 466 on Saturday - a significant increase from the previous daily high of 390 recorded the day before.
Four deaths were reported on Saturday, bringing the total number of deaths in the country to 42 at the outbreak. Sydney has been in quarantine for nine weeks. Authorities had hoped to lift the city's restrictions on August 28, but now it seems unlikely. Starting Monday, people will no extended be allowed to shop, exercise, or relax outside within 3 miles of their homes, except for social balloons.
And starting August 21, anyone wishing to travel from Greater Sydney to the New South Wales region will need a permit. Anyone traveling without a license will be fined A$3,000. Hundreds of other defense officials will also impose measures to blockade the city after Australia's armed forces first deployed troops last month.
NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said some people had used excuses related to sports, social balloons, and regional travel. "These are some of the most powerful forces we have ever had in NSW police history," he told reporters. "It's about staying ahead of Delta [the Covid-19 variant], not chasing it."
