Central Coast lockdown to continue

July 27, 2021

Parliamentary Secretary for Central Coast, Adam Crouch, announced today, Tuesday, July 27 that the Central Coast lockdown could not be ended due to the current cases stemming from a construction worker and the possible cases from the weekend’s protests in Sydney.

“Unfortunately, the health risk is just too high.

“To end the lockdown now would only speed up transmission of the Delta strain.”

Crouch said it would take a few days to see if any community transmission occurred at one of the 18 exposure sites on the Central Coast.

The exposure site list can be found here in a previous article: https://coastcommunitynews.com.au/central-coast/news/2021/07/local-positive-test-sparks-large-contract-tracing-effort-in-the-north/

    Why is Adam Crouch saying the Central Coast lockdown could not be ended due to the current cases stemming from a construction worker and the possible cases from the weekend’s protests in Sydney? He has no power to open the central coast from lockdown anyway & the fact there was 172 new cases in Sydney area means it won’t happen for a while. They must love being locked down in Sydney…

    Hi, why do we have journalists asking questions from state leaders when 80% of the time they never answer the question , just say what I can tell tell you, then waffle on about something they were not asked. Very frustrating and annoying

    Fully vaccinated people on the central coast after being tested again should be allowed to travel in country nsw. It might give some incentive to non vaccinated people

    All this coming from Gladys not mandating mask to be worn for drivers transporting potential covid 19 positive people.
    Good thinking Gladys

    If government is persisting in lock down why keep bringing people in it goes against common sense

    Another four weeks in lockdown is too much for me I’m enjoying it as much as I can

    If your vaccinated you should not be locked down.
    I live in a beautiful part 9f the coast n can not go more than 10ks from my home. It is sad. No fishing or swimming. Stop people coming to Australia. It is not just return citizen’s.

    Fishing is allowed. travel is not over 10 ks from home, but the fish are not biting anyway.
