'National emergency': Sydney records 136 COVID-19 cases and another death
The NSW COVID-19 outbreak has been declared a "national emergency" after the state recorded 136 new cases and another death.
It is the highest number of daily new infections in the state since the Delta outbreak began last month.
Chief health officer Kerry Chant said the situation in NSW, particularly in Sydney's south-west and western suburbs, was now regarded as a "national emergency" and called on the federal government to refocus the national vaccination strategy.
"I have advised the government today that this is a national emergency, and requires additional measures to reduce the case numbers," she said.
