New research by the University of Sydney shows under current settings and restrictions in NSW, the state could reach up to six thousand cases per day by October.
Research leader, Dr Mikhail Prokopenko said the data supports Gladys Berejiklian’s plans to keep some restrictions in place after lockdown is lifted in November once eighty percent of Australia’s eligible population is vaccinated.
If all restrictions are removed with the lift of lockdown, Dr Prokopenko warned infections could surge to forty thousand cases per day based on the research findings.
