The Australian state of New South Wales has reported 30 new Covid cases on the second day of Greater Sydney’s two-week lockdown.

An expanded lockdown now covers 5m people in Greater Sydney, as well as the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong.

Cases of the highly infectious Delta variant now stand at 110.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Sunday that she expected that figure to rise.

Stay-at-home orders will remain in place until July 9 for all of Greater Sydney and the other specified areas.
