More than 2 million people in Greater Sydney will not be unable to leave their local government area (LGA) for work as NSW attempts to stem the spread of COVID-19.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian added Parramatta, Georges River and Campbelltown to the list of LGA's subjected to Authorised Work Orders.

They now join Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown, Blacktown, Liverpool and Cumberland LGA's from midnight.

Under the orders, workers are not allowed to leave their LGA's unless they work in health, aged care or are essential workers listed by the government including supermarket workers, those in logistics, distribution and other critical services.

"We now have eight LGA's, the most highly populated parts of our community in Greater Sydney, not able to leave their home for work unless they are categorised as a very critical worker," Ms Berejiklian said.

"That localised, targeted response is what we hope will have the desired effect."...

One way or another, herd immunity will be achieved. The question is when it is achieved will there exist a vibrant economy or a damaged economy.

If you watch Sky News in Australia you will understand how deep in the crapper Australia really is....they have embraced the elimination of Covid as a strategy when that’s not possible....regardless of the vaccine level, Australia is so far behind the rest of the world in terms of herd immunity they will be having lockdowns for all of 2022 if they keep going with the same strategy...

Australia is acting like China but there’s the Japanese aspect of driving the bushido blade into the economy.

Einstein was right, if you repeat the same actions over and over again and expect a different outcome you are clinically insane...

The whole world has gone insane, Australia is at the top of the list, they keep locking down millions of people after 3-4 cases, when Australia is an island that is cut off from the rest of the world.....

“More than 2 million people in Greater Sydney will not be unable to leave their local government area (LGA) for work.”

Someone please parse that sentence for me.

Simplify: People will not be unable to leave for work.

Which should mean People will be able to leave for work.

Is that a correct interpretation?

I went to the article; "not" says NOW.

“More than 2 million people in Greater Sydney will NOW be unable to leave their local government area (LGA) for work.”

“...essential workers listed by the government including supermarket workers, those in logistics, distribution and other critical services....”

And especially important .... government workers including the Gestapo/KGB enforcers.
