University of New South Wales epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre says the state government should impose a lockdown across metropolitan Sydney if the northern beaches cluster worsens on 21 December. Professor MacIntyre warns that New Year’s Eve could become a major ‘superspreader’ event, as people who contract the coronavirus on Christmas Day will be at their most infectious six days later. She contends that a short, sharp lockdown across Sydney could avoid a major outbreak and much harsher restrictions in the new year.
