The Croydon coronavirus browser in Sydney comes days after restrictions were relaxed for Christmas, with New Year’s cricket, soon here

The length of time the Croydon coronavirus collection in Sydney is five days, or one average stimulus period, after Christmas raises an uncomfortable question.

The city received a slight three-day waiver of COVID-19 restrictions despite the virus circulating on the northern beaches.

So did Christmas Day cause the Croydon browser and is Sydney now paying the price?

Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant did not delay any Wednesday before closing the proposal.

Six extended family members who have been positively diagnosed for the virus took part in a “series of events”, Dr Chant said.

Health authorities and contact seekers have identified more than 30 close family members and are now racing to understand “serial gatherings” over several days where COVID appeared to have passed.

“Clearly, it’s too early to say it was one day,” Dr. Chant said.

“But we are exploring several lines of scrutiny to understand that referral event.”

Dr Chant pointed out that indoor events are the biggest threat to the spread of COVID, as the Croydon collection shows.

She also said there would be more issues related to the extended family and expressed concern that to date no connection has been found with the northern beach rally.

Epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws believes the Croydon cases represent a third generation of northern beaches.

She believes that it should not have gone ahead as it did from a revolutionary management perspective.

“We’ll see more potential issues for Christmas,” said Dr McLaws.

“Then we have the New Year and then cricket.”

Sydney will host the third test match between Australia and India on January 7, despite the ongoing events of coronavirus.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian described the Croydon browser, as well as issues in Wollongong, as “a proliferation of cases outside the northern beaches”.

A full lock is needed, experts warn

While restrictions have been tightened slightly for New Year’s Eve, the developments have also debated the need for full-blown locking.

The ABC’s Norman Swan believes that if NSW is to be based on the “precautionary principle”, now is the time to lock up Greater Sydney for a fortnight.

“You have now spread this virus all over Greater Sydney, you have a problem in Wollongong, the numbers will go up and down,” he said.

“This is one incubation time after Christmas, so you’d expect to spike around now – and that’s a springboard for New Year’s Eve too.”

Dr Swan said modeling from Sydney University professor Mikhail Prokopenko showed every day that a lockout representing a full week at the other end of the revolution had been delayed in terms of taking control of the issues. .

He said masks should be prescribed and the experiences in Victoria, as well as abroad in Israel, the UK and the US, showed that “half-hearted measures” did not work.

“We have relied on NSW for the commendable work of communications seekers,” he said.

“It’s really amazing … but it won’t take long to get over it.”
