Australians may face longer lockdown after "reckless" mass protests

Summary
New South Wales reports 141 new local cases, 2 deaths
Victoria on track to ease curbs
Australia secures 85 mln Pfizer booster shots
MELBOURNE, July 25 (Reuters) - Australia's New South Wales logged its
second-highest daily increase of the year in locally acquired COVID-19
cases on Sunday amid fears of a wave of new infections after thousands
of people joined an anti-lockdown protest.
"In relation to yesterday's protests, can I say how absolutely disgusted
I was. It broke my heart," Gladys Berejiklian, the premier of the
country's most populous state, told reporters.
"I hope it won't be a setback, but it could be," she said.
There were 141 COVID-19 cases reported, down from 163 a day earlier. The
outbreak, which began in June, is being driven by the highly contagious
Delta variant of the virus, and has now infected 2,081 people in New
South Wales. There are 43 people in intensive care, up from 37 a day
earlier.
Under fire for a slow vaccine rollout, Prime Minister Scott Morrison
said more vaccine supply was not going to ensure New South Wales gets
out of lockdown, but what was needed was an effective, properly enforced
lockdown.
"Let me be clear - there's not an alternative to the lockdown in New
South Wales to get this under control. There is no other magic bullet
that's going to do that," Morrison told reporters at a televised media
conference.
He called the anti-lockdown protests in Sydney reckless and self-defeating.
While Berejiklian and other state leaders have blamed Canberra for the
slow vaccine rollout, critics have said NSW did not enforce its
stay-at-home orders, which has led to Delta variant leaks to other states.
At least 38 of the new cases in NSW had spent time in the community
while infectious, state health authorities said. Numbers of such cases
have stayed stubbornly high even after four weeks of lockdown in Sydney,
now expected to be extended beyond July 30.
The state reported two deaths overnight, including a woman in her 30s
with no pre-existing conditions.

Despite its struggle with spikes of infections, Australia has managed to
keep its epidemic largely under control with a total of about 32,600
cases and 918 deaths.
To help speed up vaccinations in Sydney, the government's official
adviser, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation
(ATAGI), on Saturday changed its advice on the AstraZeneca vaccine,
urging anyone in the city under the age of 60 to strongly consider
getting vaccinated with it.
ATAGI had previously advised against the AstraZeneca vaccine for people
under 60 due to concerns about blood clots.
"In the context of the current risk of COVID-19 in NSW and with the
ongoing constraints on Comirnaty (Pfizer) vaccine supplies, all adults
in greater Sydney should strongly consider the benefits of earlier
protection with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca rather than waiting for
alternative vaccines," ATAGI said in a statement.
Morrison said on Sunday the government has secured an additional 85
million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, but they will only be delivered in
2022 and 2023.
"To have those booster shots pre-ordered means we can go into 2022 with
confidence," he said.
Australia's Victoria state reported 11 locally acquired COVID-19 cases
on Sunday, down from 12 a day earlier, raising hopes the state will end
a hard lockdown imposed 10 days ago.
State Premier Daniel Andrews said it was too early to say whether
restrictions will be eased on Tuesday, but: "At this stage, though,
things are going well."
All of the cases were linked to the current outbreak clusters and all of
them were in isolation throughout their infectious period, the state's
health department said.
South Australia reported three new cases on Sunday.

be hungry and he's not forgiven of this sin because he's not been
allowed to confess it.
