Prime Minister Scott Morrison is backing the New South Wales government in keeping Sydney open, despite the city’s current Covid-19 outbreak. 

The decision comes after the state’s proposal to raise police activity, in order to apprehend offenders of the heavy new restrictions.

Despite experts calling for tougher measures, Mr. Morrison says ‘Sydney residents can feel confident that if anyone can get on top of this without shutting the city down, it’s the NSW government.’
