Sydney: Two Australian apartment blocks have been placed under strict locking with residents who are prohibited from leaving on Tuesday, when the authorities increase efforts to curb the Coronavirus outbreak that grows rapidly.
Police posted outside the apartment block in the Bondi Sydney area, where nine people have tested positive viruses, with entry movements and out of the building are restricted.
The five million Sydney residents are currently in the third week in partial dead when the authorities try to spray the spread of the virus in the community.
Residents in the largest city in Australia are permitted to leave home to exercise, essential shopping, work or health reasons, but encouraged to remain at home.
A harder restriction is placed on people who have visited the location stated as a virus hotspot, which may include quarantine 14 days mandatory.
Australia’s latest Covid-19 outbreak began in mid-June and has since grown to 767 cases.
All apartment blocks in Melbourne are also placed under 14 days of isolation, after disposal of workers visiting Sydney positive.
Authorities now ask Australians who live in other apartment buildings to wear masks when in public areas.
“When you are in the apartment building, we don’t want you to gather in any common room,” said South Wales South South Chief Chant Kerry.
“We really need it in the public health order that you use masks when you are transiting through the public area.” Residents in one Sydney Southwest environment, where viruses are currently spreading the fastest, now required to be tested every three days if they leave the area to work.
Under 10 percent of Australians have been fully vaccinated, leaving the population very vulnerable to Delta variants that spread rapidly.
Lockdown Sydney has been scheduled to end on Friday, but the extension is now possible, even though there is a decrease in new infections to 89 in the last 24 hours.
