It is ‘not by accident’ states can avoid lockdowns: Berejiklian

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian says it is “not by accident” states can avoid lockdowns and come back stronger, in a speech made to the Liberal Council in Canberra. “We have had unfortunately one lockdown in New South Wales about a year ago but we used that time to build up our systems, we quadrupled our health capacity, we made sure our contact tracers were well resourced,” she said. Ms Berejiklian said the approach of New South Wales was one of the “whole of government” and this strategy allowed health experts to be able to focus on the spread of the virus and how to contain it. “It’s not by accident you can weather these storms, you do need efficient systems in place and we use the time well when we’re imposing those burdens on our citizens.”
