Three-week coronavirus lockdown lifts in northern zone of Sydney's northern beaches
ABCThe sun shone down on the northern beaches on Sunday as residents in the northern zone spent their first day out of COVID-19 lockdown. Key points: About 70,000 residents living north of the Narrabeen Bridge have been in lockdown since December 19 From midnight Saturday, the area adopted the same restrictions as Greater Sydney Locals expressed a sense of relief as the community came back to life For the past three weeks, those living north of the Narrabeen Bridge have been forced to abide by strict stay-at-home orders as health authorities have scrambled to contain a growing coronavirus outbreak. The Avalon cluster currently stands at 150 cases, and while questions have been raised about whether lifting the lockdown is the right decision, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says she is "confident" given the large number of northern beaches residents who have been tested. "Everyone can't wait to open again and especially in the New Year, everyone's starting off fresh and trying to get rid of COVID." "We've got a lot of mask wearing and hand sanitising but everybody's just enjoying being out of doors and feeling that life might return to normal," he said.
