NSW premier says she will introduce a 'more comprehensive' lockdown of non-essential services
Here is the full statement from the NSW premier, Gladys Berejiklian, on a “more comprehensive lockdown of non-essential services” in NSW.
The statement reads:
Tonight I will be informing the National Cabinet that NSW will proceed to a more comprehensive shutdown of non-essential services. This will take place over the next 48 hours.
Supermarkets, petrol stations, pharmacies, convenience stores, freight and logistics, and home delivery will be among the many services that will remain open.
Schools will be open tomorrow, though I will have more to say on this issue in the morning.
I will update NSW tomorrow morning about the impacts and our plans following the National Cabinet.
