It’s throwing up a paywall, both times. What was the nitty-gritty of the article?

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT July 12th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 116 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.918%. 1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.938% and active cases 33. The UK had a higher 33,948 cases yesterday and lower 6 deaths for a CMR of 2.491%. A higher 24,228 new cases in the USA yesterday and lower 73 deaths sees CMR at 1.792%. Other notable points: Global deaths pass 4.05M, the last 50k in 7 days; Global cases pass 188M, the last 1M in 2 days; Europe passes 49M cases; British Virgin Islands (326); Fiji (873); Vietnam (2,383); Libya (2,679); Kazakhstan (3,899); Myanmar (5,014); Bangladesh (13,768); and Indonesia (40,427) ... all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

COVID-19 tests for people in Greater Sydney and Fairfield We're getting a few questions about this announcement, so here's what we know: First and foremost, these rules apply to people who live in Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour local government areas) and Fairfield local government area and travel outside the area to work. From 12:01am on Wednesday 14 July 2021, you may need to get a COVID-19 test if you are leaving your home to go to work. However, you do not need to get the results of your COVID-19 test before going to or staying at work. Fairfield: If you live in or are staying in the Fairfield local government area but you work outside this area, you must have a COVID-19 test once every 72 hours (3 days) in order to be allowed to enter a workplace. Unsure about the boundaries? NSW Health has put together a map and list of suburbs (you can find that right here). You do not have to get a COVID-19 test before working outside the Fairfield local government area if: you are working at residential premises (someone's home) you live outside the Fairfield local government area. Greater Sydney: If you live in or are staying in Greater Sydney including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour, you must have a COVID-19 test in the 7 days before working if your workplace is 50km or more outside Greater Sydney. You can find the 50km zone map right here. How is it enforced? You must have proof of your COVID-19 test such as an SMS text message on your phone or an email addressed to you. You must show the proof of your test when asked at your workplace by your manager (occupier) or to a police officer. You do not need to get the results of your COVID-19 test before going to or staying at work. What workplaces does this apply to? You must follow the requirements if you are the occupier of a premises that is not a place of residence located outside the Fairfield local government area. You must not allow a person to work at your premises unless that person has had a COVID-19 test in the past 72 hours. You are allowed to ask a person who is at your premises to show you proof that they have had a COVID-19 test in the past 72 hours. This applies to all people, including employees, contractors and other service providers who work at your premises and live in the Fairfield local government area. You can read more here.

Cheers. I’m personally uncomfortable about the “ghettoisation” of an area because of historical precedent, but it’s good to know the state of play.

Glad I live and work way over north as long as the stray zombie doesn't frequent my parts but they've done enough damage in the western regions. Hopefully more and more comply with staying within their 10k circle barring work and do the right thing. We clamped down on delivery drivers weeks agoto our business, under no circumstances can they enter barring the pick up drop zone.

Keeping people waiting hours for a test before they can go to work is not sustainable. The government needs to fix this immediately by opening more pop-up testing. The Sydney outbreak has not peaked, the whole of Australian needs it to be handled successfully and quickly. Good luck Sydney!

I hope the NSW gov at next state budget, cuts that amount of money (or more) from that council's budget. It beggars belief that councils are trying to profit from people trying to do the right thing.

This sucks for Vic. Earlier on NSW was so annoyed at Vics telling them what they should have done* (even though they liked telling Vic what to do for the past year or more).
But the truth is if it's in NSW uncontrolled it was always going to get into Vic and Qld because people don't stay the **** at home. *I ain't going to tell NSW what to do because I don't care and they don't either care what others say. I'm getting pfizer on 24th anyway. I feel sorry for Victorians having bad Last edited by oldel; 14-07-2021 at 09:30 PM. |

Full transparency, I have been busy with work and missed 10 pages of this thread - I will reread over the next two lifetimes
There are perhaps three things that will stop this virus. Perfect disinfection, Perfect isolation, and herd immunity. Since perfect is not possible all that the first two do is delay the inevitable. Eventually an evenly spread 70-90% of humanity will either have had Covid-19 or will be vaccinated, only then will it stop. |

You got to wonder how many mirrors the Victorians have broken to bring this sort of luck. Recent lockdown where two people travelled from Melbourne to Sunshine coast while infections, stopping along the way for movies and eats etc -> Nothing. Removalist travels from Sydney to Melbourne, SA -> Bam 11 cases.

Good news is it looks like Vic Gov is trying not to impose full lock down. Hopefully they have caught this one soon enough to be able to ring fence the close contacts, lets see. The Blues vs Cats game is a bit worrying though, because blues fans are from a certain demographic which have a high likelihood to have also attended the Lygon st festivities on Monday morning. A couple of people I know went to both, although they weren't sitting in the direct exposure location at the MCG. Lockdown or no lockdown, I think people will naturally move less. Some don't want to catch CV, but many just don't want to get caught at an exposure site where you'd then be forced to do 2 weeks isolation. People will impose their own "stay at home" until cases go back to 0, and that will hit businesses.
