Australia reported 176 new locally acquired cases on Saturday, a third consecutive daily record with nearly all cases in Sydney. Officials fear the outbreak could jeopardise the rest of the country.
New South Wales state health minister Brad Hazzard said the extra vaccine supply was urgently needed and was the only way to stop transmission of the virus, as people were not sticking to stay-at-home orders.
‘At the moment it’s like fighting a war with both arms behind your back’, Hazzard told reporters.
