New Modelling Shows NSW Cases Could Exceed 500 By Friday

August 3, 2021

New modelling from the Burnet Institute shows that NSW could exceed 500 daily cases as early as Friday, despite the lockdown. The modelling, based on data from Melbourne’s second outbreak, shows that whilst cases in South Western Sydney are decreasing, cases throughout the rest of Sydney are doubling every 4-5 days. The experts behind the model are therefore calling for stricter restrictions across all Sydney. “Not only is this the equitable approach, but epidemiologically sound.” Even with these restrictions, it could take until the end of September to reach a 7 day average of 5 cases a day.

However, it’s not all bad – this model also shows how New South Wales has avoided a much bigger crisis. Had the city not locked down at all, there would already be around 1000 cases a day according to the model. They estimate that we have avoided over 4000 cases through the lockdown, on top of the cases prevented by contact tracing.
