The Australian state of New South Wales on Saturday reports the largest daily increase in infections this year. There are 50 new cases in the country’s most populous state. Prime Minister Gladys Berejiklian warns the population against further increases in infection rates with the highly contagious delta variant.
“I would like to note that of these 50 cases, the vast majority are close family members or friends of infected people. People get infected with the virus and then spread it to those closest to them. If you really love your parents, siblings, best friends, please follow the rules.”
In total, there are around 500 cases where people have become infected with the Delta variant, despite the Greater Sydney area being in lockdown for two weeks
