The New South Wales government's crisis cabinet agreed on the date to reopen pubs, cafes and retail outlets overnight after Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant was overruled by the Premier.

The state government's crisis cabinet held a meeting on Wednesday night where they signed off on the roadmap out of coronavirus lockdown amid a relentless outbreak of the Delta strain.

But NSW’s top doctor advocated for a more careful plan for reopening, suggesting 80-85 per cent vaccination coverage would be better suited to avoid the risk of re-entering lockdown at a later date. She argued delaying the reopening by a short period of time would mitigate the risk but went on to agree with the easing of restrictions once the goal of 70 per cent double-dose is achieved.

We need monoclonal antibody treatment at community infusion centers for high risk covid patients. It will greatly reduce hospital and ICU overcrowding. Recent double blind studies show a 70% reduction in hospitalisation of high risk patients if administered in the first 5 days.

Kerry Chant talks about the new world order? I’m not living in Australia, but if I were I would try to get RID of HER!

About bloody time ffs well done

Not that I’m complaining about the end of lockdowns, but can GladysB now please stop spewing the same line that “we rely on the health advice” when in fact she does not.

About time because she and all the other so called health professionals need to stop the political games and damage they have and are doing to families ,community and country

It's Gunna be an epic shit show Gladys is incompetent . Listen to your health experts. You are not one of them.

aclennell ask Dr Chant a direct yes/no question about this today at the press conf. GladysB

panicking about re-election

People will die. Children will die. It’s that simple.

Gladys has been lying all along of course and has never been strictly following Kerry Chant's advice. That's why NSW is in the situation it is in. nswpol covid19nsw
