NSW records 27 new COVID-19 cases as Greater Sydney lockdown extended
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has extended Greater Sydney's lockdown for seven days after the state recorded 27 new COVID-19 cases.
The lockdown has been extended until 12:01am on July 17 and social distancing restrictions in regional areas have also been extended.
Ms Berejiklian said the decision to extend lockdown was a difficult one.
"We appreciate and understand the stress this means for individuals, for families, and, of course, for businesses. But what would be far worse is being in a situation where you have to live in and out of lockdown until that period of time when we have the vaccine available to us," she said.
