COVID UPDATE – SUN – 141 NEW NSW CASES – 38 INFECTIOUS IN COMMUNITY – PREMIER “DISGUSTED” AT MARCH
Police will be charging anyone who was at the Sydney CBD march yesterday where as many as 3500 protestors ignored COVID stay-at-home orders and risk spreading the virus.
Deputy Commissioner Gary Warboys said, “it can only be described as violent, dirty, risky behaviour”, and asked for anyone with phone or video footage to upload it to Crime Stoppers so police can take action.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said of the march, she was “absolutely disgusted. It broke my heart”.
She said millions of people were doing the right thing and that those on the march, “should be ashamed of yourselves”.
Meanwhile, Hawkesbury COVID figures remain steady this morning at 6 known cases.
The total tests carried out in the Hawkesbury increased by 634 in the last 24 hours – up from a Saturday figure of total tests of 13,681 to 14,315.
