Gladys Berejiklian: NSW ‘won’t live’ with Covid Delta variant without widespread vaccination – video

While providing the latest NSW Covid update in Thursday’s press conference, premier Gladys Berejiklian said New South Wales won’t live with Covid until there is widespread vaccination of the population. ‘What is apparent is that – and this has been demonstrated by every other place in the world, and we can’t pretend we’re different in NSW in Australia – is that you can’t live with the Delta variant unless you have a certain proportion of the population vaccinated,’ she says. Berejiklian describes the Delta variant as a game-changer, adding that she is pushing to expedite the vaccination process in the state. There have been 395 locally acquired coronavirus cases reported since the latest Delta outbreak began on 16 June.
