Cabinet will meet today to reassess alert levels for our largest city, and the rest of the country.

But the Delta outbreak appears to be some way from over with a further 20 cases being reported yesterday, and 34 cases yet to be linked to any sub-clusters.

“It’s like a forest fire. It’s like we’re in Australia in fire season and you leave these little fires undealt with, they just get away from you with Delta.”
