Indeed. Perhaps the NSW government should do random testing in the areas where sewerage shows the virus is present?

They are only getting positive sewerage tests in areas with known cases that are either still in isolation or are now shedding the virus which can take weeks/months after the infectious period.

I’m assuming they are just being cautious which is a good thing. Hopefully more people in that area get tested as they does still seem to be missing links in the cluster. So clearly undiagnosed covid positive people out there still.

How can they police the people who work in those areas but life in other LGAs. It would seem they outbreak could leak from the existing LGAs.
Even if you are honest and stay in lockdown in an area that is not lock down, you are still permitted to shop for groceries so therefore it will just spread. It seems really haphazard and ridiculously chaotic.
The NSW government are fucked in the head with these arrangements.

Yeah, if it was pretty much any other capital city in Aus, it’d be in a proper lockdown.
This will keep happening until ~80% of the population are fully vaccinated, and what’s Australia at now, <5%?

Don’t think it is any different from the Northern Beaches lockdown earlier on. Not new.
Don’t the Northern Beaches basically have a single point of entry & exit, and so was easier to police?
This time it’s relying on people following health guidelines, and we’ve seen what can happen from only a few people not doing so.
