From Monday, about 300 Australian army personnel will help police go door to door to check that people who have tested positive for the virus are isolating, New South Wales police commissioner Mick Fuller said at a televised news conference. As the city entered its sixth week of a planned nine-week lockdown, New South Wales state reported 170 new local cases, most in the state capital Sydney, down from a record 239 a day earlier. Of the new cases, at least 42 spent time in the community while infectious.
While some people in migrant communities may be distrustful of government, “we are here to support you and our health system is here to support you,” he added. “They are a poor community, they are a vulnerable community, and they don't deserve these lockdowns or these extended and harsh measures that they have now been targeted with,” he added in a telephone interview.
