Byron Bay is ‘waiting on health updates’ from Brisbane clusters

Byron Bay Mayor Simon Richardson says the Bluesfest is still slated to go ahead as Byron Bay has recorded zero cases of COVID-19 so far. Mr Richardson said he hoped the Brisbane lockdown would be the “last reminder of COVID” and said there had been an “intense wait” to hear from health officials. “I guess we just keep waiting for updates, obviously those ticket holders from Brisbane currently aren’t allowed in for the Thursday and we sort of wait and see how the lockdown works for Brisbane and Greater Brisbane area,” he told Sky News.
